Cleveland Amory (2 September 1917 – 14 October 1998) was an American author who devoted his life to promoting animal rights. He was perhaps best known for his books about his cat, named Polar Bear, whom he saved from the Manhattan streets on Christmas Eve, 1977.

During the Second World War Amory served in military intelligence in the United States Army from 1941 to 1943 before joining the board of directors of the Humane Society of the United States in 1962, remaining there until 1970. In 1967, he founded the Fund for Animals. Amory also was the president of the New England Anti-vivisection Society (NEAVS) from 1987 until his death of an abdominal aortic aneurysm in 1998.
