Doris Pitkin Buck (January 3, 1898[1]-December 4, 1980[2][3]) was an American science fiction author.

Born in New York City, she graduated from Bryn Mawr College in 1920 and Columbia University with a master's degree in 1925.[3] She was a stage actress before marrying Richard Buck. She taught English at Ohio State University and was a founding member of the Science Fiction Writers of America.[3]

She published numerous science fiction stories and poems, many of them in The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction. Her story "The Little Blue Weeds of Spring" from the June 1966 issue was a nominee on the first ballot for the Nebula Award for Best Short Story.[4] Her story "Why They Mobbed the White House" appeared in Damon Knight's anthology Orbit 3 (1968). Her story "The Giberel" appeared in Robert Silverberg's anthology New Dimensions 1 (1971) and reappeared in Lloyd Biggle, Jr.'s Nebula Award Stories 7 (1972). Her story "Cacophony in Pink and Ochre" is one of the stories slated to appear in Harlan Ellison's unpublished anthology The Last Dangerous Visions.

Buck died at age 82 of a pulmonary embolism.[2] Her final publication was the poem "Travel Tip", published posthumously in the June 1981 issue of F&SF.[3]
