Kristopher Reisz (born February 7, 1979) is an American author known for his young adult novels.

Reisz grew up in Decatur, Alabama. He became interested in writing during high school. In college, he reported for the student newspaper and edited the literary magazine, later recalling, “I set out to learn anything anyone could possibly teach me about being a writer.” Reisz worked as a paramedic and in a psychiatric hospital before selling his first novel, Tripping to Somewhere.

Reisz published one story online, "Quiet Haunts" in 2009.

Reisz’s writing has won several honors. In 2007, the New York Public Library chose Tripping to Somewhere as one of their "Books for the Teen Age." His second novel, Unleashed, was recognized by the Young Adult Library Services Association in its 2009 list of “Quick Picks for Reluctant Young Adult Readers.”

In 2008, Reisz wrote in his blog that The Drowned Forest was in progress, and in February 2010, that it was completed.
