{{Short description|none}} {{more citations needed|date=November 2008}} {{Dynamic list| date=March 2018}} This is an incomplete list of writers, cartoonists and others known for involvement in satire—humorous social criticism. They are grouped by era and listed by year of birth. Included is a list of modern satires.
