Patricia Reilly Giff (April 26, 1935 – June 22, 2021) was an American author and teacher born in Brooklyn, New York, United States.

She was educated at Marymount Manhattan College, where she was awarded a B.A. degree, and St. John's University, where she earned an M.A. and Hofstra University, where she was awarded a Professional Diploma in Reading and a Doctorate of Humane Letters.

After spending some twenty years as a full-time teacher, she began writing, specializing in children's literature.

Giff resided in Trumbull, Connecticut, along with her husband Jim and their three children.

Giff's writing workshops have influenced other children's authors such as Tony Abbott and Elise Broach.

She died on June 22, 2021.

Giff's series of children's books about the kids from Polk Street School has proven popular and won critical acclaim.

The stories revolve around second-grade teacher Ms. Rooney and the students in her class, in particular perpetual troublemaker Richard Best (nicknamed "Beast"), who is good at art but terrible at reading and Emily Arrow, who is good at math but also terrible at reading.

Some novels in the series also feature Emily's younger sister Stacy as the central character.
