William Messner-Loebs é um autor e desenhista de histórias em quadrinhos americanas. Em 1989 foi indicado ao Eisner Award de "Melhor Escritor" por seu trabalho na revista em quadrinhos Johnny Quest, baseada no desenho homônimo. É o criador da série Journey: The Adventures of Wolverine MacAlistaire, publicada inicialmente pela editora Aardvark-Vanheim. Ao lado do desenhista Sam Kieth produziu The Maxx e Epicurus the Sage. Foi por muitos anos o roteirista da revista Wonder Woman, onde criou a popular personagem Artemis de Bana-Mighdall.
Messner-Loeb sucedeu Mike Baron como escritor da revista The Flash após Wally West ter se tornando o personagem-título com a morte do Flash anterior, Barry Allen, no evento Crise nas Infinitas Terras. Sua fase à frente da revista compreendeu as edições 15 à 61, e, ao lado do desenhista Greg LaRocque, foi responsável por "humanizar" o personagem, tornando-o alguém com que os leitores pudessem se identificar. Messner-Loebs e LaRocque reformularam o uniforme do herói e em 1991, estabeleceram em The Flash #53 que o personagem Flautista, um dos coadjuvantes da revista, era homossexual.
Por causa de um tumor, Messner-Loeb teve um de seus braços amputado ainda na infância. No início da década de 2000, desempregado, passou por sérios problemas financeiros, ficando sem sequer ter onde morar, passando a viver em abrigos, até que os escritor Brad Meltzer e Geoff Johns promoveram artigos na internet para tornar pública a situação em 2005, fazendo com que voltasse a ser contratado pelas editoras do mercado americano.
