El coronel no tiene quien le escriba es una novela del escritor colombiano Gabriel García Márquez, publicada en 1961. La historia sigue a un coronel retirado que vive en la pobreza en un pueblo costero de Colombia, esperando en vano la pensión que le prometieron por sus servicios durante la guerra civil. A pesar de las dificultades económicas y la incertidumbre, el coronel y su esposa mantienen su dignidad y esperanza, representadas en su gallo de pelea, un símbolo de resistencia y perseverancia.

Gabriel José García Márquez was a Colombian writer and journalist, known affectionately as Gabo or Gabito throughout Latin America. Considered one of the most significant authors of the 20th century, particularly in the Spanish language, he was awarded the 1972 Neustadt International Prize for Literature and the 1982 Nobel Prize in Literature. He pursued a self-directed education that resulted in leaving law school for a career in journalism. From early on he showed no inhibitions in his criticism of Colombian and foreign politics. In 1958, he married Mercedes Barcha Pardo; they had two sons, Rodrigo and Gonzalo.
