Laurence Tucker Stallings (November 25, 1894 – February 28, 1968) was an American playwright, screenwriter, lyricist, literary critic, journalist, novelist, and photographer.

He entered Wake Forest University in North Carolina in 1912 and became the editor of the campus literary magazine, the Old Gold and Black.

Stallings received a Master of Science degree from Georgetown University, after which he worked as a reporter, critic, and entertainment editor at the New York World.

He was impressed by Maxwell Anderson's first play, White Desert, and the two joined forces to collaborate on What Price Glory, which opened at the Plymouth Theatre in New York City in 1924.

It was adapted into King Vidor's The Big Parade the following year, which was extremely successful and remained MGM's largest-grossing film until Gone with the Wind in 1939.

Additional screenwriting credits included Northwest Passage (1940) with Spencer Tracy, The Man from Dakota (1940) with Wallace Beery and Delores del Rio, and On Our Merry Way (1948) with James Stewart and Henry Fonda.

Stallings was recalled up to service with the U.S. Marine Corps during World War II as a lieutenant colonel, but did not serve overseas.
