"Officially" they were all written by Moses. Only the new testament has different authors.
Well that's not even what Christian scholars say about the OT.

Traditionally, both Jews and Christians believe Moses is the author and compiler of Genesis and each of the first five books of the Bible also called the Pentateuch:

Genesis - Moses
Exodus - Moses
Leviticus - Moses
Numbers - Moses
Deuteronomy - Moses

These are the five Books of the Law: Genesis, meaning "beginning" since it recounts the beginning of God's creation; Exodus, which means "exit" or "departure," referring to the journey of the Hebrews from out of slavery in Egypt; Leviticus, a book detailing worship as led by the priests ordained from the tribe of Levi; Numbers, whose title is derived from the book's opening account of the census or numbering of the people of Israel; Deuteronomy, meaning "second law" since it gives a detailed listing of the additional laws given by God through Moses.

Joshua - Unknown
Judges - Unknown
Ruth - Unknown
1 & 2 Samuel - Unknown
1 & 2 Kings - Unknown
1 & 2 Chronicles - Ezra
Ezra - Ezra
