Jo Claes is een Vlaamse schrijver.
Hij woont en werkt in Leuven. Hij schreef een aantal novelles en (misdaad)romans en publiceerde bestsellers over mythologie, hagiografie en iconografie. Zijn schrijversloopbaan begon met De Stenen Toren dat werd bekroond met de Debuutprijs. In 2008 verscheen zijn eerste misdaadroman over de Leuvense inspecteur Thomas Berg, De zaak Torfs. Met dit boek kreeg hij de smaak van het spannende genre te pakken, want daarna volgden De blinde vlek, Dood in december, Het oog van de naald, Tot de dood ons scheidt,Getekend vonnis. Zijn daaropvolgende Thomas Berg-roman De mythe van Methusalem, heeft de Hercule Poirot-publieksprijs 2014 en De Gouden Strop 2015 gewonnen.
