Alice Dalgliesh (October 7, 1893 in Trinidad — June 11, 1979 in Woodbury, Connecticut) was an American author and book editor who wrote over 40 books for children, most illustrated by Katherine Milhous. She received a BA from Columbia University and taught at elementary schools for a while before writing her first book, A Happy School Year, in 1924. Among her books are Newbery Honor books The Silver Pencil (1944), The Bears on Hemlock Mountain (1952), and The Courage of Sarah Noble (1954).

The writer Robert A. Heinlein and Dalgliesh, Heinlein's editor at Scribner's, had conflict in the 1950s. This was revealed in letters published in Grumbles from the Grave by Virginia Heinlein.
