Arnold Shaw, born Arnold Sokolof, was an American musicologist, composer and author. He received his BA in English literature from the City College of New York in 1929 and his MA from Columbia University in 1931. He pursued further studies in American Literature at New York University.

During his career in the music publishing industry, he began writing about music for various newspapers and magazines, and eventually began writing books about music and musicians. He won the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award two times, in 1968 and 1979, and was also posthumously inducted into the Blues Hall of Fame for his book 'Honkers And Shouters: The Golden Years Of Rhythm & Blues'. He was also a songwriter, but found relatively little success in that field.
