Michael Kandel (born December 24, 1941, in Baltimore, Maryland)[1] is an American translator and author of science fiction.

[2] Prior to that, at Harcourt, he edited (among others) Ursula K. Le Guin's work.

[4][5] Recently he has also been translating works of other Polish science fiction authors, such as Jacek Dukaj, Tomasz Kołodziejczak, Marek Huberath and Andrzej Sapkowski.

The quality of his translations is considered to be excellent;[6] his skill is especially notable in the case of Lem's writing, which makes heavy use of wordplay and other difficult-to-translate devices.
