The following is a list of writers that have worked on the Fox animated television series The Simpsons.

The list includes all the writers from seasons 1 through 18.

Some episodes, such as Treehouse of Horror episodes are divided into three smaller stories which have then been given a title. When a writer worked on only one of these it was indicated in parentheses. When a writer collaborated with another writer it was noted after the dash.

NOTE: This list only includes episodes that have aired. Future episodes are not included.
