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.

Sewall Green Wright, né le 21 décembre 1889 à Melrose au Massachusetts et mort le 3 mars 1988 à Madison au Wisconsin, est un généticien américain, connu pour ses travaux sur la théorie de l'évolution, et aussi pour son travail sur la path analysis (analyse des relations structurelles) en statistiques. Il reçoit la médaille Darwin en 1980 et le prix Balzan en 1983. Dans The Book of Why, Judea Pearl présente Sewall Wright comme un pionnier de l'inférence causale. Son père, Philip Green Wright est un économiste. Il a appliqué les méthodes de son fils à l'économie et est considéré comme un pionnier de la méthode des variables instrumentales.
