Mitchell Lynn Walker (born 1951) is an American gay activist and Jungian psychologist known for influential writing on gay-centered depth psychology, including the paper The Double: An Archetypal Configuration and the books Men Loving Men and Visionary Love: A Spirit Book of Gay Mythology and Transmutational Faerie. In 1979 he co-created the Radical Faeries, described as the first gay-centered spiritual movement, together with Harry Hay, John Burnside and Don Kilhefner, seeking to redefine queer identity through spirituality rather than imitation of heterosexual norms. In 1982, after leaving the Radical Faeries, Walker and Kilhefner founded Treeroots, an organization addressing the psychological dimension of gay liberation.
