Steven Kunes (born 1956) is an American conman and former screenwriter. He has been convicted of felony commercial burglary and grand theft by false pretenses.

In 1982, Kunes attempted to sell to People magazine an interview with reclusive author J. D. Salinger, whom he claimed he had met. Salinger sued and settled the case under the conditions that Kunes was “permanently enjoined from representing by any means that he is associated with Salinger”, barred from “exhibiting, transmitting or exhibiting documents, writing or statements attributed to Salinger” and “required to collect and turn over any such documents or writings for destruction”. The interview was never published. He later succeeded in selling a fake interview with Jimmy Buffett to the Santa Barbara Daily Sound.

At various times he has claimed to have written Johnny Carson’s final monologue, worked on a Harry Potter film, and written the biopic Catch Me If You Can.

Thought to have been hiding in Bucks County, he was apprehended in New Jersey less than a month later. At court, Kunes pleaded guilty and admitted to forging checks. On May 4, 2012, he was sentenced to five years in jail for felony commercial burglary and grand theft by false pretenses. A plea deal allowed for a sentence of only four years if Kunes had paid restitution to his victims, but no payments were made. In February 2013, Kunes was re-arrested. He had been serving his five-year sentence and had been approved for electronic monitoring on August 1, 2012. Kunes removed the device on August 22, 2012, and mailed the device back to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office. A photo posted on the Sheriff’s Office Facebook page led to his identification at a Carpinteria cafe and his subsequent arrest. He was released from prison in June 2015 but arrested again for violating the terms of his probation after falsely telling the Bucks County Courier Times that he was producing a Netflix series called Over My Dead Body.
