Bill Wray is an American cartoonist and landscape painter. He spent much of his childhood traveling about as an Army brat. As a self-taught artist, he first worked in the animation industry while still a teenager, but eventually, he chose to study at New York's Art Students League.

He began doing commercial illustrations and artwork for comic books in addition to his work in animation for The Ren & Stimpy Show and other shows. His long-run "Monroe" series has appeared in more than 100 issues of Mad, and he has also collaborated with Mike Mignola on Hellboy Jr.

A resident of Sierra Madre, California, he is currently concentrating on fine art, doing oil paintings of landscapes, figures and urban settings.
