Don Cook (August 8, 1920 — March 7, 1995) was one of the longest-serving, full-time, Paris-based American foreign correspondents of the twentieth century.

He was then hired by TransRadio Press Service in Philadelphia and subsequently moved to its national office Washington, D.C.

[4] When the Iranian revolution broke out in 1979, Cook followed Ayatollah Khomeini from his exile in Paris to Tehran.

He covered the early days of the fighting and the fall of the Shah until his colleague, Los Angeles Times Middle East correspondent Joe Alex Morris Jr., who had been on vacation, could get there.

Cook retired in 1989 after 45 years abroad, and moved back to his hometown, Philadelphia, where he died at home in 1995.
