Hugh C. Howey (* 23. Juni 1975 in Charlotte, North Carolina) ist ein US-amerikanischer Science-Fiction-Schriftsteller. Bekannt wurde er durch den Erfolg seiner Silo-Trilogie, die er 2013 bis 2015 ohne Verleger im Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing Programm als E-Book veröffentlicht hat.
Trotz lukrativer Angebote entschloss sich Howey gegen den Verkauf seiner E-Book-Rechte an der Silo-Reihe für den US-amerikanischen Markt. Für den deutschen Markt sicherte sich der Piper Verlag die Rechte, einschließlich der E-Book-Rechte. Die Filmrechte verkaufte Howey an 20th Century Fox. Mit Drehbuch und Regie sollen Ridley Scott und Steven Zaillian beauftragt werden. Die Romanreihe wurde mit der gleichnamigen Fernsehserie verfilmt, die seit 2023 bei Apple TV+ erscheint.
