Wallace West (22 May 1900 –) was an American science fiction writer.
West was born May 22, 1900.
He began publishing during 1927 with the story "Loup-Garou" in Weird Tales. The majority of West's work, which was published prior to the 1960s, was short fiction. His few novels, mostly published after World War II, were mostly re-workings of his pre-war short fiction.
He is credited with suggesting the plot to the Arch Oboler radio play Profits Unlimited.
