Shirley Gordon (1921 – 2008) was an American writer of radio programs, television shows, and children's books. During the Golden Age of Radio, Gordon wrote scripts for anthology series Suspense ("The Statement of Mary Blake" in 1950 and "Death Parade" in 1951), The Whistler, and Elliott and Cathy Lewis' On Stage. When dramatic radio was revived in the 1970s, Gordon wrote scripts for The Hollywood Radio Theatre and Sears Radio Theatre.
