Marilyn A. Venable (born about 1927) is an American writer known as Lynn Venable or Lyn Venable. Venable's short story "Time Enough at Last" (If Magazine 1953) was adapted for television as an episode of The Twilight Zone in 1959, starring Burgess Meredith. The story is frequently anthologized and discussed by scholars, who note that it was published in the same year as Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 and includes similar themes about reading and books.
