Alison Roman (born September 1, 1985) is an American cook and writer. She is the author of the cookbooks Dining In, published by Clarkson Potter in Fall 2017, and Nothing Fancy, published in October 2019 and a New York Times Bestseller.

She is a bi-weekly columnist for The New York Times Cooking section. Originally from Los Angeles, she currently lives in Brooklyn.

She has created recipes that went viral on Instagram, commonly called #TheStew and #TheCookies. Her recipes and online presence have gained traction in the burst of home cooking during the 2019–20 coronavirus pandemic, and some of her recipe releases have coincided with the relevant ingredients selling out in supermarkets.

She previously worked as a pastry chef at Sona in Los Angeles, at Quince in San Francisco, and for Christina Tosi at Milk Bar in New York City.
