Craig M. Hatkoff is an American real estate investor and philanthropist from New York City.

Hatkoff is the co-founder of Capital Trust and served on the board of Directors. He also serves on the Boards of the Taubman Centers Inc., Wildlife Direct, the NYU Child Study Center, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Sesame Workshop and The Borough of Manhattan Community College Foundation. He has also authored multiple best-selling children's books with his young daughters, including the #1 New York Times best-selling Owen & Mzee: The True Story Of A Remarkable Friendship, which describes the friendship between a tortoise and an orphaned hippopotamus in Kenya after the 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake. Other works include Good-Bye, Tonsils (2001), Knut: How one little polar bear captivated the world (2007) about the polar bear cub Knut from the Berlin Zoo and Looking for Miza which he has written together with his daughters Juliana and Isabella.
