Horatio Sheafe Krans (1872 in Boston – July 28, 1952 in Asheville, North Carolina) was an American author and editor.

Krans received his A.B. from Columbia University in 1894 and went on to complete a Ph.D. in 1903. He edited the Lincoln Tribute Book (1909), English Love Poems (1909), The Lost Art of Conversation (1910) and was an associate editor of The World's Wit and Humor (ten volumes, 1906).
