Sewall Green Wright (1889–1988) was an American biologist, geneticist, statistician, and university teacher. Born in Melrose and dying in Madison, he worked in the field of population genetics. He was educated at the University of Illinois system and Harvard University. His professional career included positions at the United States Department of Agriculture, the University of Chicago, and the University of Wisconsin–Madison.
Wright was a member of the Royal Society, the National Academy of Sciences, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and the American Philosophical Society. He received the Balzan Prize, the Thomas Hunt Morgan Medal, the National Medal of Science, and the Darwin Medal. His doctoral advisor was William Ernest Castle, and his doctoral student was Robert R. Sokal. He was the sibling of Quincy Wright.
His notable works include *Principles of livestock breeding*, *Corn and hog correlations*, *Evolution and the genetics of populations*, and *The Roles of Mutation, Inbreeding, Crossbreeding and Selection in Evolution*. He wrote in English.

シューアル・グリーン・ライト（Sewall Green Wright, 1889年12月21日 - 1988年3月3日）はアメリカ合衆国の遺伝学者。ロナルド・フィッシャー、J・B・S・ホールデンとともに集団遺伝学の数理的理論を基礎づけたことで知られる。 マサチューセッツ州メルローズに生まれる。ハーバード大学にて、遺伝学者ウィリアム・アーネスト・キャッスル（William Ernest Castle）のもとモルモットの皮色の生理遺伝学的研究を行うとともに近親交配の数学的理論の研究を始めた。その後、アメリカ合衆国農務省に勤務し、これらの研究をさらに深めた。この間に経路分析（Path analysis ）と呼ばれる統計学的分析法を発案した。その後1926年にシカゴ大学教授、1955年からはウィスコンシン大学マディソン校の教授を務めた。 功績としては、近交係数とF統計量 (英語: F-statistics) の開発が挙げられる。1966年にアメリカ国家科学賞、1980年にダーウィン・メダル、1982年にトーマス・ハント・モーガン・メダルを受賞している。
