Neil Richard MacKinnon Gaiman (d. 10 Kasım 1960), öykü, roman, çizgi roman, grafik roman, kurgu-dışı, radyo tiyatrosu ve senaryo alanlarında eserler üreten İngiliz yazar. Eserleri arasında Yıldız Tozu (Stardust), Amerikan Tanrıları (American Gods), Koralin (Coraline), Mezarlık Kitabı (The Graveyard Book) gibi romanları ve çizgi roman serisi Sandman yer alır. Hugo, Nebula ve Bram Stoker ödüllerinin yanı sıra Newbery ve Carnegie madalyaları gibi birçok ödüle layık görüldü. Aynı kitapla (Mezarlık Kitabı) hem Newbery hem de Carnegie madalyalarını kazanan ilk yazardır. Yolun Sonundaki Okyanus (The Ocean at the End of the Lane) kitabı, 2013 yılında İngiliz Ulusal Kitap Ödülü'ne layık görüldü. Daha sonra Londra'daki Royal National Theatre'da sahnelenen, eleştirmenlerce beğenilen ve The Independent gazetesi tarafından “...en iyi tiyatro” olarak nitelendirilen bir sahne oyununa uyarlandı. Ailesinin kökenleri Polonya ve diğer Doğu Avrupa yahudilerine dayanmaktadır. Büyük büyükbabası 1914'ten önce Belçika'nın Antwerp kentinden İngiltere'ye göç etti. Büyükbabası ise İngiltere'nin güneyindeki Hampshire'a yerleşti ve orada bir bakkallar zinciri kurdu. Chaiman olan soyadı büyükbabası tarafından Gaiman olarak değiştirildi. Babası David Bernard aynı işi devam ettirdi. Annesi Sheila ise eczacıydı. Claire ve Lizzy adında iki de kız kardeşi vardır.

Dört yaşında okumayı söktü ve söktüğü ilk günden itibaren sürekli okudu. On yaşındayken Denis Wheatley'in eserlerini (The Ka of Gifford Hillary, The Haunting of Toby Jugg) okudu ve bu eserlerden etkilendi. Okul kütüphanesinden edindiği Yüzüklerin Efendisi üzerinde etkiler bıraktı. Kütüphanede romanın yalnızca ilk iki kitabına ulaşabilmesine rağmen, okulda İngilizce ve okuma ödüllerini kazandı ve bu sayede üçüncü cildi elde edebildi.

Yedindi doğum gününde Narnia Günlükleri hediyesini aldı. Yazarın parantez kullanımından etkilenerek, ileride yazar olduğunda aynı şeyleri yapmanın hayallerini kurdu. Alice Harikalar Diyarında her zaman favorisi oldu ve Batman çizgi romanlarından büyük keyif aldı.

Gaiman'ın üzerinde önemli etkiler bıraktığını söylediği yazarlar arasında C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Lewis Carroll, Mary Shelley, Rudyard Kipling, Edgar Allan Poe, Michael Moorcock, Dave Sim, Alan Moore, Steve Ditko, Will Eisner, Ursula K. Le Guin, Harlan Ellison, Lord Dunsany ve G.K. Chesterton bulunmaktadır.
