Mr. Writer is the first single from rock band the Stereophonics taken from the their third album Just Enough Education to Perform. It was released in March 2001. It reached #5 in the UK charts.

The song is track 3 on Just Enough Education to Perform. A live version from Millennium Stadium Cardiff is on the Vegas Two Times single. It was written in response to a journalist who had toured with the band and had later gave them negative reviews. The song has being attributed as one of the factors that has caused the group's uneasy relationship with the media. A live acoustic version is track 1 on CD2 on the Mr. Writer singles, along with live acoustic versions of Hurry Up and Wait and Don't Let Me Down.
