Borden Deal (October 12, 1922 – January 22, 1985) was an American novelist and short story writer.
Born Loysé Youth Deal in Pontotoc, Mississippi, Deal attended Macedonia Consolidated High School, after which he joined the Civilian Conservation Corps and fought forest fires in the Pacific Northwest.
Before he began writing, he worked on a showboat, hauled sawdust for a lumber mill, harvested wheat, was an auditor for the United States Department of Labor, a telephone solicitor, copywriter, and an anti-aircraft fire control instructor in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
In 1946, Deal enrolled in the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa.
While there he published his first short story, "Exodus".
His creative writing professor was Hudson Strode.

The majority of his work is set in the small hamlets of the Deep South.
His novel The Insolent Breed served as the basis for the Broadway musical A Joyful Noise.
From 1970 Deal also published, under the name "Anonymous", a series of erotic novels with pronoun titles such as Her and Him.
