Frank Moore Cross, Jr.
(July 13, 1921 – October 16, 2012) was the Hancock Professor of Hebrew and Other Oriental Languages Emeritus at Harvard University, notable for his work in the interpretation of the Dead Sea Scrolls, his 1973 magnum opus Canaanite Myth and Hebrew Epic, and his work in Northwest Semitic epigraphy.
Many of his essays on the latter topic have since been collected in Leaves from an Epigrapher's Notebook.
