Miklós László (May 20, 1903 – April 19, 1973; born Nicholaus Leitner) was a Hungarian-born American playwright and screenwriter.
He is best known for his play Illatszertár, also known as Parfumerie, which was later used as the storyline for three movies: The Shop Around the Corner, In the Good Old Summertime, and You've Got Mail, which was released posthumously. The play was also adapted for the Broadway stage as the musical She Loves Me.
