Wallace West (May 22, 1900 – March 8, 1980) was an American science fiction writer.
West was born May 22, 1900.
He began publishing during the 1920s. His story "Static" appeared in Sea Stories Magazine in 1926 and the story "Loup-Garou" in Weird Tales in 1927. The majority of West's work, which was published prior to the 1960s, was short fiction. His few novels, mostly published after World War II, were mostly re-workings of his pre-war short fiction.
He is credited with suggesting the plot to the Arch Oboler radio play Profits Unlimited.
