Margaret Stohl is an American author and video game writer who made her fiction debut with the Beautiful Creatures series, co-written with Kami Garcia. Published in 2009, the book became a bestseller and was adapted into a 2013 film. Together with Garcia, Stohl went on to write several more novels and novellas set in the same world, including the Dangerous Creatures spinoff series.

Outside of Beautiful Creatures, Stohl has written across a wide range of genres. Her Marvel work includes the Black Widow young adult novels and The Mighty Captain Marvel graphic novels. She also co-wrote the Cats vs. Robots middle-grade series and published standalone novels like Royce Rolls, a satire about a reality TV family, and Jo & Laurie, a retelling of Little Women.

Before becoming a novelist, Stohl spent over a decade working in the video game industry. She co-founded the company that made several games, and that background shows up in her Icons series, a science fiction duology about teens living in a world controlled by alien technology. Her non-fiction book Super Visible explores the history of women at Marvel.
