Liliana Heker (born 1943) is an Argentine writer. She wrote and edited left-wing literary journals during the Dirty War of state-sponsored violence in the 1970s and 1980s, using veiled critiques as a means of protest and engaging in vigorous debate with exiled writers such as Julio Cortázar.

She was born in Buenos Aires and her professional writing started at the age of 17 with the support of Abelardo Castillo.
