Jay Robert Nash (born on November 26, 1937, in Indianapolis, Indiana) is an American author of more than seventy books on myriad aspects of true crime. Among Nash's crime anthologies are Encyclopedia of Western Lawmen and Outlaws, Look For the Woman, Bloodletters and Badmen, and The Great Pictorial History of World Crime. He has also compiled his exhaustive research of criminal behaviour into a CD-ROM entitled Jay Robert Nash's True Crime Database.

The Chicago Tribune has called Nash "America’s foremost chronicler of crime."
