Maureen Daly (1921–2006) was an American writer who worked in journalism, fashion, and advertising. Born in Ireland, she grew up in Wisconsin and won an O.

Seventeenth Summer was chosen unanimously as the first winner of the Intercollegiate Literacy Fellowship and was one of the first novels to target a teenage audience.
