Timothy "Tim" Wright (born July 22, 1985, in Geelong, Australia) is an Australian peace campaigner who founded, and is the current president of, the Peace Organisation of Australia. He inaugurated the Australian Peace Prize, which was awarded for the first time in 2006, to Dr. Helen Caldicott.

From 2004 until 2006, Wright actively encouraged the Australian Government to work towards the observance of a 24-hour global ceasefire on September 21, the International Day of Peace. In 2006, he was an adviser to Senator Lyn Allison, leader of the Australian Democrats, in which capacity he inter alia promoted the Cluster Munitions (Prohibition) Bill 2006. If enacted, the bill would prevent Australia from using, possessing and manufacturing cluster munitions.

Wright has served as an officer of various organizations, including the Melbourne Law Students' Society and the United Nations Youth Association (Australia). In 2006, he published a controversial book titled Time for Change: Australia in the 21st Century, which included a foreword by Geoffrey Robertson QC and chapters by Justice Michael Kirby of the High Court of Australia, indigenous rights campaigner Dr. Pat O'Shane, South Australian Premier Mike Rann, and Australian Democrats Senator Natasha Stott Despoja.

He lives in Melbourne, Australia.
