Victor Saul Navasky (July 5, 1932 – January 23, 2023) was an American journalist, editor, and academic. He was publisher emeritus of The Nation and George T. Delacorte Professor Emeritus of Professional Practice in Magazine Journalism at Columbia University. He was editor of The Nation from 1978 until 1995 and its publisher and editorial director from 1995 to 2005. Navasky's book Naming Names (1980) is considered a definitive take on the Hollywood blacklist. For it he won a 1982 National Book Award for Nonfiction.[1][a]

He was awarded the I.F. Stone Medal for Journalistic Independence[2] by Harvard's Nieman Foundation in 2017.
