Naomi A. Alderman is an English author who wrote the Eleventh Doctor BBC New Series Adventures novel Borrowed Time.

She returned eight years later to write the Thirteenth Doctor short story Time Lapse for the anthology Thirteen Doctors, 13 Stories.
Alderman's prose debut was the successful 2006 novel Disobedience, a story about a rabbi's daughter whose lesbian identity causes conflict with his strict religious community. Disobedience was adapted into the 2017 film of the same name, and was followed by novels The Lessons in 2010 and The Liar's Gospel in 2012.
