Perley Poore Sheehan (7 June 1875 in Cincinnati, Ohio, United States – 30 September 1943 in Sierra Madre, California, United States) was an American film writer, novelist and film director. He was once married to Virginia Point (1902-unknown). Sheehan also wrote detective and adventure fiction for the pulp magazines. Sheehan wrote two fantasy novels, The Abyss of Wonders (1915), about a lost civilization in the Gobi Desert, and The Red Road to Shamballah (1932–1933) about a hero with a Tibetan magic sword.
Sheehan was cited as editor of Munsey's The Scrap Book by researcher Sam Moskowitz. Moskowitz noted him as editor in 1906, 1909, and 1911, essentially the complete run of the magazine.
