Harrison Parker Tyler (March 6, 1904 – July 24, 1974), was an American author, poet, and film critic.

[citation needed] He wrote a biography about modernist painter Florine Stettheimer.

[3] This led Vidal to claim that "I've done for [Tyler] what Edward Albee did for Virginia Woolf" after The Hollywood Hallucination and Magic and Myth of the Movies were republished in 1970.

[3] Black Sparrow Press published his poetry, including a complete and corrected text of The Granite Butterfly, first published with Bern Porter, Berkeley, Calif., 1945, as The Will of Eros: Selected Poems 1930-1970 (1972).

Tyler died in New York City, where he lived, on July 24, 1974, at the age of 70.
