John Patrick Hemingway (born August 19, 1960) is a Canadian-American author, whose memoir Strange Tribe: A Family Memoir examines the similarities and the complex relationship between his mother, born Gregory Hancock Hemingway and his grandfather, Ernest Hemingway; in particular it addresses the issue of his mother's sexual identity.

Hemingway moved to Milan, Italy in 1983, where he pursued a writing and translating career. His articles have appeared in several Italian newspapers such as l'Unità and Libero, and in American magazines and literary journals.

He has published the novel Bacchanalia: A Pamplona Story,^[1] inspired by his visits to the San Fermín festival, and has also prefaced the book Hemingway in Pamplona, by Miguel Izu.^[2]

As revealed in his memoir, Strange Tribe, Hemingway had a difficult childhood. His father suffered from bipolar disorder and his mother, Alice Thomas, has schizophrenia. Hemingway spent his early years being shuffled from one home to another and dealing with his dysfunctional family. He eventually went to study history and Italian at U.C.L.A. and after graduating moved to Italy, as a way of distancing himself from his troubled family background. One of the unresolved questions for him was how his mother, a trans woman, could fit with the image that the public has of his grandfather as an icon of male masculinity.^[3]

After leaving Italy and spending a year in Spain^[4] and three months in the Medoc in France, Hemingway now lives with his wife, Kristina and daughter in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.^{[5][failed verification]}
