亨德里克·威廉·房龙(Hendrik Willem van Loon,1882年1月14日—1944年3月11日),荷兰裔美国人。历史通俗读物作家、插图画家。房龙的作品多以散文的形式叙述、评论历史事件及人物,他生动诙谐的文笔使读者能在短时间内以一种轻松的方式了解历史的大致脉络,並配上親手繪製之許多生動插圖,提高閱讀的趣味,因此很受一般的读者欢迎。他的书在美国十分畅销,擁有驚人的銷售量。但在历史学研究上,房龙則并未取得相应的學術地位與成就,基本上是被定位於一位「優秀的通俗歷史作家」。
为了联合论战中的潜在盟友,房龙于1942年加入了(基督教)美国万灵一位论教会(Unitarian Church of All Souls即一神普救派)。该教会牧师劳伦斯.I.尼尔是房龙在哈佛大学时的同班同学,并且曾经在房龙的婚礼上当过迎宾员(usher)。在他为该教会撰写的手册《我相信这个!》(This I Believe!)中,房龙开玩笑说道这个教会之所以对他有吸引力是“因为只有当看门人从楼梯上摔下来的时候,耶稣基督(Jesus Christ)的名字才会被提及。”[1]
