Sean Gray (born June 15, 1983) is an Emmy-winning and Golden Globe-nominated comedy writer, producer and director. He is best known for his work on the HBO series Veep and the BAFTA-winning BBC series The Thick Of It and Stewart Lee's Comedy Vehicle.

Gray graduated from Oxford University. During his time at Oxford he wrote for and edited the university magazine Isis, and has explained that this "was basically just an excuse to write funny stuff for an audience". Gray started writing comedy sketches as a student and has cited Peter Cook as the comedian who "opened [his] eyes to what comedy could be".

Gray is a writer and Co-Executive Producer on HBO's Emmy-winning sitcom Veep, starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus. The show won Outstanding Comedy Series at the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards. He is a credited writer on 9 episodes of Veep: Catherine, Chung (Season 1); Hostages, Running (Season 2); Some New Beginnings, Alicia (Season 3); Convention, Testimony (Season 4); Thanksgiving (Season 5). Gray previously worked on the original BBC comedy The Thick of It, writing or co-writing 14 episodes of the BAFTA-winning sitcom. For the launch of Series 4, he and fellow The Thick of It writer Ian Martin were interviewed by Kirsty Lang on BBC Radio 4's Front Row and described how the show's seemingly farcical policies have often been mirrored in real life politics. Gray also wrote on this subject for the BBC News website.
