Henry Abner (September 17, 1884 – July 10, 1935) was the pen name of policeman and fiction author Henry Abner Sturdivant. Abner was a well-known but commercially unsuccessful writer of golden era hard-boiled detective novels and short stories (active 1925–1935). An untimely death led to Abner being nearly forgotten during the post-war heyday of detective fiction. In fact, Abner is probably best remembered today as the butt of scorn from Raymond Chandler in his 1950 essay The Simple Art of Murder, in which Chandler lampoons Abner's first novel Death Wears Yellow Garters.
