Terryl Lynn Givens (born 1957) is professor of literature and religion at the University of Richmond, where he holds the James A. Bostwick Chair in English. Givens teaches courses in theology, 19th century studies and literary theory, and focused his early research and publications there. He is best known for his books and articles on Mormon history, culture, and theology.

Givens's wife, Fiona Givens, is a Latter-day Saint who was raised as a Catholic. She has co-authored some of his books and been involved in some theologically related work on her own, such as discussing the possibility of fully developing a theology of Heavenly Mother in a Neal A. Maxwell Institute Podcast.

The New York Times referred to his work as “provocative” and Harper’s praised him for being “fair-minded and unbiased.” Givens is a practicing Mormon who served as bishop in a local congregation for some years.
