Прэтт, (Марри) Флетчер (Pratt, [Murray] Fletcher) (25 апреля 1897, Буффало, Н.Й. [Buffalo, N.Y.] - 10 июня 1956, Лонг Бранч, Нью-Джерси [Long Branch, New Jersey]) - американский писатель-фантаст. Брат Роберт. Проучился год в Хобарт-Колледже и несколько лет спустя два года в Парижском ун-те. В основном занимался самообразованием. Работал в The Buffalo Courier Express. В 1920 переселился в Нью-Йорк. Стал профессиональным писателем в 1923. В годы Второй мировой войны был военным экспертом в The New York Post. Умер от рака.
Историк по основному роду занятий, П. был экспертом по военной истории, сосредоточившись на истории великих битв прошлого и истории военно-морского флота.
Жена - Инга Стефенс (Inga Stephens) (1926-до смерти), художница, часто иллюстрировавшая его книги.
Первая НФ публикация - рассказ "Цикл осьминога" ("The Octopus Cycle", 1928, как П. с Ирвином Лестером [Irvin Lester], также псевдонимом П.).
П. является составителем первой жанровой антологии "общего мира" - "Замороженная планета" ("The Petrified Planet", 1952, анонимно), участником которой наряду с Х. Бимом Пайпером и Дж. Меррил он являлся.
Переводил с немецкого и французского. Прославился тем, что изобрел способ извлекать гонорар за перевод из тяжело расстававшихся с деньгами издателей. Он предоставлял первую часть перевода, убеждался, что она пошла в печать, а потом отказывался предоставить вторую, пока не получит оплату.
Публиковался также под псевдонимами George U. Fletcher, George W. Fletcher, George V. Flecther, Irvin Lester, B.F. Ruby.
