Stefan Hertmans (° Gent 1951) is auteur van een omvangrijk literair en essayistisch oeuvre, waarvoor hij zowel in binnen- als buitenland werd onderscheiden.
Hij publiceerde poëzie, romans, essays, theaterteksten, kortverhalen en een handboek over kunstagogiek.
Hertmans is doctor in de kunstfilosofie. Hij doceerde aan de Hogeschool Gent in de master opleiding van de Koninklijke Academie voor Schone kunsten (KASK) en leidde het Studium Generale tot oktober 2010. Sindsdien is Hertmans fulltime auteur.
Hij doceerde of gaf lezingen aan de Sorbonne, de universiteiten van Wenen, Berlijn en Mexico, Library of Congress (Washington), University College London.
Hertmans publiceerde vijf romans, twee verhalenbundels, zeven essayboeken en een twaalftal bundels poëzie. Zijn verhalend werk wordt gekenmerkt door een vermenging van groteske en poëtische elementen, die de intrige meer dan eens op onvoorspelbare manier doorkruisen.
