Otis Adelbert Kline was an adventure novelist and literary agent during the pulp era. Much of his work first appeared in the magazine Weird Tales. He was an amateur orientalist and a student of Arabic, like his friend and sometime collaborator, E. Hoffmann Price.

In the mid-1930s Kline largely abandoned writing to concentrate on his career as a literary agent, most famously for fellow Weird Tales author Robert E. Howard.
