Temple Hornaday Fielding (Bronx County, 1913 - Palma de Mallorca, 1983) was a noted American travel writer, grandson of the famous naturalist William Temple Hornaday. He graduated from Princeton in 1939 and in 1941 he joined the US Army as a gunner and was later recruited into the intelligence services.

In 1951, he and his wife moved from New York to Denmark, but soon settled in Formentor, Mallorca, Spain, where he established the headquarters of the company Fielding Publications, Inc. The Fieldings constantly updated their information and spent at least five months of the year travelling and visiting tourist accommodation. He published the Fielding Travel Guides from 1948, from the 1940s to the 1980s the Fielding Guides were the most widely used travel guides for Europe and the Caribbean. The «Fielding?s Travel Guide to Europe», began as a guidebook written for recruits arriving at Fort Bragg in North Carolina during World War II. From his obituary in the New York Times of 19 May 1983, Section D, page 26: 'Although decorated by many governments for his contribution to the tourism industry, the Bronx-born Mr Fielding took great pride in being regarded as an adviser and companion to the average American traveller who wanted to know not only where to eat and sleep, but also which tourist traps and other pitfalls to avoid.'
