Connie Briscoe (born December 31, 1952) is an American writer of romantic and historical fiction. Briscoe's first novel, Sisters and Lovers (1994), sold nearly 500,000 copies in cloth and paperback combined in its first two years.

Darryl Dickson-Carr has characterized Briscoe as "among the better writers to emerge in and benefit from the strong wave of interest in African-American fiction that arose in the early 1990s after the publication of Terry McMillan's Waiting to Exhale (1992)."[1]
