Michael Munn ( – July 2022) was a British author, film historian, and actor. Munn's biography of Steve McQueen has been described as preposterous, and doubt cast on his biographies of Frank Sinatra, John Wayne, Jimmy Stewart, Sir Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, and David Niven. Munn lived in Sudbury, Suffolk. He died from a heart attack in July 2022, at the age of 69.
