Michael Horowitz is an American author and archivist in San Francisco.[1]

Horowitz's parents were Jewish immigrants from Russia and some of his relatives died during the Holocaust. He is the husband of author Cynthia Palmer, and the father of Winona Ryder and Uri Horowitz.[1]

A former close associate of Timothy Leary, he is responsible with his wife for the creation of the world's largest library of drug literature, the Fitz Hugh Ludlow Memorial Library.[2]
