Hollister Noble (1900–1954) was an American historical novelist and screenwriter. He committed suicide after it was alleged that he had plagiarized the research (not the text) of a book he had written. The decision that he was not guilty of plagiarism came only after his death by gunshot in the cellar of his home in Sherman Oaks, California.[1]

Three of Noble's stories were the basis for full length cinema movies: Drums in the Deep South (1951), Mara Maru (1952), and Mutiny (1952).

Hollister Noble was represented by Barthold Fles.[2]
