The song was made famous in Shrek, and that rendition is by Rufus Wainwright. I know Leonard Cohen also sang it, and there are about a million versions, but can anyone tell me who actually WROTE it?

Leonard Cohen wrote it. Jeff Buckley made it popular but Rufus Wainwright's the one singing it in the movie. I really thought it was Jeff Buckley in the movie but I was wong.

A lot of people ask about that song, I've answered it several times.

It was written by Cohen, first as a poem. He later added more verses, changed it a bit.

There are a couple of good links in this answer I gave previously:
