Dan Guenther, born in Waukegan, Illinois, in 1944, is an American writer. He was a captain in the U.S. Marine Corps. His poems and letters from Vietnam were included in The Stones of Summer, by Dow Mossman , published by Bobbs-Merrill in 1972 and republished by Barnes & Noble in 2003. In 2002, Guenther appeared in the documentary film Stone Reader, by Mark Moskowitz. The film chronicled the director's attempt to resuscitate the acclaimed book of seemingly-vanished author, Dow Mossman, a lifelong friend of Dan Guenther.

High Country Solitudes (Grand River, 1997) is a book of poetry. He has also published poems in small magazines

and anthologies, most recently, Open Range: Poetry of the Reimagined West, Ghost Road Press, (2007).

China Wind, the first novel in the Vietnam trilogy, was originally published in 1990. Dodge City Blues, the second novel in the trilogy, was published in 2007, and has been praised by Veteran Magazine for its realism. The third novel,Townsend's Solitaire, was published in 2008 and has been described by Veteran Magazine as Sam Gatlin's "readjustment blues".

Glossy Black Cockatoos, Guenther's fourth novel, was published in late 2009. It is set in Australia and Asia, among the Hmong.
