Jacqueline Lichtenberg (born 25 March 1942 in Flushing, New York) is an American science fiction author.

Many of her early novels are set in the Sime - Gen Universe, which she first described in a short story in 1969. In the early 70's, dedicated fans of this series created a fanzine, called "A Companion in Zeor," first published in 1978 by Karen MacLeod. Writing the series satisfied her preference for "'Intimacy' – the kind of relationship between the character and other characters, between the character and the universe, or between the character and him/herself, that brings trust into life" over "Action," a genre she "seriously dislike[s]." Her other writings have dealt with fantasy and occult subjects, including articles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She has written a monthly column reviewing and called Science Fiction for The Monthly Aspectarian. She has published two novels, Hero and Border Dispute, under the pen name 'Daniel R. Kerns'.
