Wilum Hopfrog Pugmire (born May 3, 1951) is a writer of horror fiction based in Seattle, Washington. His works typically are published as W. H. Pugmire.

Strongly influenced by the works of H. P. Lovecraft, many of Pugmire's stories directly reference "Lovecraftian" elements (such as Yog-Sothoth of the Cthulhu Mythos). Pugmire's major original contribution to the Cthulhu Mythos is the Sesqua Valley, a fictional location in the Pacific Northwest of the United States that serves as the primary locale for much of his fiction. According to his official biography, his "goal as an author is to dwell forevermore within Lovecraft's titan shadow."

Pugmire is a self-proclaimed eccentric recluse as well as "the Queen of Eldritch Horror."

Pugmire's fiction has appeared exclusively under small press imprints, such as Necropolitan Press, Mythos Books, Delirium Books, and Hippocampus Press. He is currently working on a new collection of Lovecraft-inspired tales for publication from Mythos Books. ["Biographical Material", in "The Fungal Stain and Other Dreams" by W. H. Pugmire (New York: Hippocampus Press, 2006) ISBN 0-9771734-3-7.]
