Lovecraft: a Biography is a 1975 biography of the writer H. P. Lovecraft by science-fiction writer L. Sprague de Camp, first published by Doubleday. The subsequent paperback edition (1976) from Ballantine Books was an abridgement, for which the author deleted a portion of the text, the notes, bibliography and index. De Camp was reportedly unhappy about having to remove the end matter.

The work, a warts-and-all examination of the famous horror and science-fiction writer, was the first major independent biography of Lovecraft. De Camp's approach has been called frank and judicious by some, unflattering and unbalanced by others.
