Cornell Woolrich

Cornell George Hopley-Woolrich (Kornel Vulrič; 4. decembar, 1903. – 25. septembar, 1968.) bio je američki pisac. Woolrich je ponekad objavljivao pod pseudonimima William Irish i George Hopley.

Njegov biograf, Francis Nevins Jr., ga naziva jednim od najboljih pisaca kriminalističkih romana svog vremena. Mnogi noir filmovi su snimljeni prema njegovim romanima, a tokom 1940-ih su brojne njegove priče priređivane za kriminalističke radio drame.

Woolrich je bi gej i prilično se promiskuitetno ponašao u svojoj mladosti. Godine 1930. oženio se Violetom Virginijom Blackton (1910-65), ali su se rastavili tri meseca kasnije, a brak im je poništen 1933.
