Eddie Muller (born October 15, 1958) is an American author and the founder and president of the Film Noir Foundation.

He wrote a follow-up book Dark City Dames, detailing six biographies of American film actresses who portrayed notable femme fatales.

[12] In 2001, Muller published a follow-up book titled Dark City Dames, chronicling six Hollywood actresses—Marie Windsor, Audrey Totter, Jane Greer, Ann Savage, Evelyn Keyes and Coleen Gray—who notably portrayed femme fatales.

The project originated after Hunter had read Muller's profile of his friend Evelyn Keyes in Dark City Dames.

[17] In 2003, Muller wrote a sequel titled Shadow Boxer, in which Billy is enlisted to help a woman to clear her husband of a murder charge.

[10] That same year, he co-authored his first picture book, Kid Noir: Kitty Feral and the Case of the Marshmallow Monkey, with Jessica Schmidt.

He previously had written a children's story about a girl rescuing a stray cat, but it was turned down by publishers due to Muller's background in noir.

[18] In 1998, Muller was asked by the American Cinematheque to program their annual Festival of Film Noir, inspired by his book Dark City.

In 2002, the festival, which was renamed "Noir City", migrated northward to San Francisco, finding a new location at the Castro Theater.

"[20][21] By 2020, the Noir Foundation has restored numerous films, including Too Late for Tears (1949), Woman on the Run (1950), and The Man Who Cheated Himself (1950).

[24] In June of the same year, he hosted the network's "Friday Night Spotlight," highlighting 16 noir films with adapted stories from Dashiell Hammett, David Goodis, James M. Cain, Jonathan Latimer, Cornell Woolrich, and Raymond Chandler.

[26] A year later, from June 5 to July 24, 2015, he hosted a Summer of Darkness festival block, which aired 24 hours of noir films on Fridays.

Most notably, it premiered newly-restored editions of Woman on the Run (1950) and Too Late for Tears (1949), with restoration work funded by the Film Noir Foundation and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
