欧文·金格里奇（1930～）是哈佛一史密森天文台荣退资深天文学家，哈佛大学天文学及科学史双料教授。他曾任哈佛科学史系系主任、美国哲学协会副主席和国际天文学联合会美国委员会主席。他的研究兴趣包括恒星光谱的分析、哥白尼著作的研究和16世纪宇宙学家的研究。除了近六百篇专业论文和学术评论外，他的主要著作有《哥白尼大追寻与其他天文学史探索》（The Great Copernicus Chase and Other Adventures in Astronomical History）、《天眼：托勒密、哥白尼与开普勒》（The Eye of Heaven：Ptolemy，Copernicus，Kepler）和《上帝的宇宙》（God's Universe）。金格里奇及其妻子米里亚姆生活在马萨诸塞州的坎布里奇，他们不仅是旅游爱好者，而且是古书及贝类收藏家。
