Hermann Karl Hesse (2 July 1877 – 9 August 1962) was a German writer and painter. His best-known works include Demian, Steppenwolf, Siddhartha, and The Glass Bead Game, each of which explores an individual's search for authenticity, self-knowledge and spirituality. In 1946, he received the Nobel Prize in Literature.

The band Steppenwolf took its name from Hesse's novel.
