Marcelo Birmajer (born on November 29, 1966 in Buenos Aires) is an Argentine Jewish author, best known for writing the script for the 2004 film El abrazo partido.
Birmajer's work usually revolves around the Porteno neighbourhood of Once and its colorful inhabitants. Most stories feature Jewish characters, and he frequently uses for them the names Javier, or Mordejai (Hebrew: מרדכי) depending on the character's level of religious observance. He also addresses Jewish issues such as synagogue attendance, Bar Mitzvahs, and the ever present alternative to immigrate to Israel.
Other recurrent subjects are marriage life, especially in his series "Stories of married men" (Spanish: Historias de hombres casados), and the Argentine society and its crisis. Many of Birmajer's works have clear autobiographical lines, presenting a main character who is himself a writer. An important part of his bibliography, specially in his beginnings, is youth literature.
Birmajer is a frequent contributor to many newspapers throughout the Spanish speaking world.
