Hiroshi Mori (森 博嗣, Mori Hiroshi, born December 7, 1957) is a Japanese writer and engineer. He is known for writing mystery novels – particularly his debut work The Perfect Insider, which won him the first Mephisto Prize in 1996[1] – but he considers himself to be a researcher as well as craftsman.

He insists his name to be written and called "MORI Hiroshi," family name first and uppercased, regardless of the language when romanized.[2]
