Fred Wright (1907–1984) was a renowned American labor cartoonist and activist. He was best known for his work as staff cartoonist for the United Electrical, Radio and Machine Workers of America (UE). In addition to his cartoons illustrating the union’s newspaper, the UE News, Wright designed leaflets, strike placards, and organizing cartoons. He sold his first cartoon to the National Maritime Union’s paper, The Pilot, in 1939 and was hired by the UE in 1949. In the spirit of the labor movement, Wright’s cartoons criticize the Taft-Hartley Act, McCarthyism, and other government post-war attacks on labor unions.
