Stanley Shapiro (July 16, 1925 - July 21, 1990) was an Academy Award-winning American screenwriter and producer responsible for three of Doris Day's most successful films.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, Shapiro earned his first screen credit for "South Sea Woman" in 1953. His work for Day earned him Oscar nominations for "Lover Come Back" and "That Touch of Mink" and a win for "Pillow Talk", and "Mink" won him the Writers Guild of America Award for Best Written American Comedy.

Additional writing credits include "Operation Petticoat", "Come September", "Bedtime Story", "Me, Natalie", "For Pete's Sake", "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels", and "Carbon Copy".

Shapiro's last project was the television movie "Running Against Time", based on his novel "A Time to Remember". Broadcast four months after his death from leukemia in Los Angeles, it was dedicated to his memory.
