Gerald Stanley Lee (1862–1944) was an American writer, preacher, and lecturer known for his philosophical and visionary works. He is best remembered for his book "Crowds: A Moving-Picture of Democracy" (1913), which examines the impact of mass culture and the collective power of society.

Another notable work of his is "The Voice of the Machines" (1906), where he explored the relationship between humanity and technology.
