Ralph Frederick Manheim (April 4, 1907 – September 26, 1992) was an American translator of German and French literature, as well as occasional works from Dutch, Polish and Hungarian. He was one of most acclaimed translators of the 20th century, and likened translation to acting, the role being "to impersonate his author".
