Herbert J. Wright was an American television writer and producer, born in 1947.
He was a producer on the first season of The Next Generation and did much to develop the Ferengi, writing the teleplay of The Last Outpost, the episode in which they are first seen, and of The Battle, in which DaiMon Bok takes revenge on Picard using the wreck of the Stargazer. He also shares the story credit on Heart of Glory, the first episode to explore Worf's Klingon heritage.
Wright left during that season but came back for part of the fifth, when he co-wrote the teleplay of Power Play, in which Troi, Data and O'Brien are possessed by alien entities. He died in 2005.
