Doug Moench, born February 23, 1948 in Chicago, Illinois, is a comic book writer. Over the years Moench has worked for DC Comics, Marvel Comics, Dark Horse Comics and many other smaller companies. Perhaps best known for his work on Batman, Moench has written hundreds of issues of many different comics, and created dozens of characters.

Moench has also written novels, short stories, newspaper feature articles, weekly newspaper comic strips, film screenplays, and teleplays; his first published work was My Dog Sandy, a comic strip printed in his elementary school newspaper. He began his professional writing career reviewing films and music for the Chicago Sun-Times; once he made the shift to comics, he moved to New York City. He currently lives in Pennsylvania.

Moench is a frequent and longtime collaborator of comics artist Paul Gulacy. The pair is probably best know for their work on Shang-Chi: Master of Kung Fu. They also co-created Six from Sirius , Slash Maraud and S.C.I. Spy and have worked together on comics projects featuring Batman, Conan the Barbarian and James Bond.

Moench has frequently been paired with the Artist and Inker Team of Kelley Jones and John Beatty on several Elseworlds Graphic Novels and a long run of the monthly Batman comic.
