Janet Ellen Morris is an American author of fiction and nonfiction, born on May 25, 1946. She is best known for her work in the fantasy and science fiction genres. Morris started her writing career in 1976 and has published over 20 novels, many of which were co-authored with David Drake or her husband, Chris Morris.

She has made significant contributions to the shared universe fantasy series Thieves' World and has edited the Bangsian fantasy series Heroes in Hell. In addition to her fictional works, Morris is also recognized for her authorship of a non-lethal weapons concept for the U.S. military.

In 1980, Morris was elected to the New York Academy of Sciences. Later, in 1995, she and her husband founded M2 Tech. Their focus on the company led to a decrease in their writing output, but it has been successful in its work with the U.S. federal government.
