Cleveland Moffett (April 27, 1863 – October 14, 1926) was an American journalist, author, and playwright. During his journalism career, he contributed articles and stories to magazines and weeklies. In 1894, he translated Cosmopolis, an 1892 novel by French author Paul Bourget. His mystery short "The Mysterious Card" was published in the Boston-based The Black Cat in 1895. This work had the novelty of not revealing the answer to the puzzle posed, thereby gaining widespread attention; it was followed up a year later by "The Mysterious Card Revealed". In addition to serialized short stories, he also wrote several plays, including Money Talks (1905) and The Battle (1908). The latter was a dramatization of his 1907 novel, A King in Rags.
