Andrew James Wilson (Reading, 2 d'agost de 1948 – Ashford, 3 de juliol de 2013), més conegut com a Snoo Wilson, va ser un escriptor i director anglès, conegut principalment per les seves obres de teatre i els seus guions. Les seves primeres obres, com Blow-Job (1971), eren obertament polítiques, sovint convinant durs comentaris socials amb comèdia. En les seves darreres obres va fugir dels temes polítics, abraçant un ampli espectre, com el surrealisme, la filosofia o la comèdia negra.
