Susan Evans McCloud (born July 28, 1945) is an American novelist, author, poet, hymnwriter, and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).

Two of McCloud’s hymns appear in the LDS Church’s 1985 hymnbook. One of these, “Lord I Would Follow Thee,” has also been recorded by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.[4] Lines from this hymn have been quoted in the LDS community,[5] and it has even been called “one of the best-loved songs in the LDS Church”[6] McCloud wrote her other hymn, “As Zion’s Youth in Latter Days,” with the goal of giving strength to a “vacillating youth.”[7]

McCloud has also contributed to film music used by the seminaries of the LDS Church.[8]
