Garrett Putnam Serviss (1851 – 1929) was an American astronomer, popularizer of astronomy, and early [[SF]] writer.

He was born in upstate New York and majored in science at Cornell University.  He took a law degree at Columbia University, but never worked as an attorney.  Instead, in 1876 he joined the staff of the ''The New York Sun'' newspaper, working as a journalist until 1892 under editor Charles Dana.

Serviss is known today primarily for his SF novels ''Edison's Conquest of Mars'' (1898) and ''The Second Deluge'' (1911), although he wrote other [[SF]] works.
