Judith Rascoe (born April 17, 1941) is an American screenwriter known for films like Havana, Who'll Stop the Rain, and Road Movie.

She attended Stanford University, spent a year as a Fulbright scholar at the University of Bristol, studied at Harvard for a time, and soon after began publishing short stories.[1]

She later worked as a journalist and as a teacher of fiction at Yale before turning to screenwriting almost by accident.[1] Independent director Joe Strick came across one of her stories in The Atlantic and asked her if she'd like to write a script.[1] That offer turned into her 1973 debut, Road Movie.

In 1973, she also published a book of short stories called Yours, and Mine.[2]
