Pamela Dean (Pamela Dean Dyer-Bennet) (born 1953) is an American fantasy author whose most notable book is Tam Lin, based on the Child Ballad of the same name, in which the Scottish fairy story is set on a midwestern college campus loosely based on her alma mater, Carleton College in Minnesota.

She was a member of the writing group The Scribblies, along with Emma Bull, Will Shetterly, Kara Dalkey, Nate Bucklin, Patricia Wrede and Steven Brust, and was a contributor to the Liavek shared-world anthologies.

She is a member of the Pre-Joycean Fellowship.

At present Dean reports that Going North, the future "joint sequel to The Dubious Hills and The Whim of the Dragon", is still a work in progress. [1]
