John 'Jack' Hadley Nicanor Hemingway (October 10, 1923 – December 1, 2000), the first son of American writer Ernest Hemingway and his first wife Hadley Richardson, was born in Toronto, Canada. He was also the father of model and actress Margaux and actress Mariel Hemingway.

Nicknamed "Bumby", Jack spent his early years in Paris and the Austrian Alps. These years are described in A Moveable Feast, Hemingway's autobiography, published in 1964. Gertrude Stein and her partner, Alice B. Toklas, were his godparents. Jack Hemingway helped finish his father's autobiography, which was published three years after Ernest's death. Throughout his life, he was an avid fly fisherman. He served in World War II as a member of the OSS working specifically with the French resistance. In October 1944 he was wounded and captured by the Germans behind their lines near the town of Vosges. [Maj. Robert E.

He also wrote an autobiography titled "Misadventures of a Fly Fisherman: My life with and without Papa".

He died on December 1, 2000 at the age of 77, after suffering complications of heart surgery, at Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York City.
