Walter Wykes (born October 30, 1969) is an American playwright. A graduate of the MFA playwriting program at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, he has had over thirty plays produced across the United States and internationally. Four times he has received the American College Theater Festival's Award for Excellence in Playwriting.[1]

Wykes is known for writing intense roles and dark subject matter.[2] The bulk of his dramatic work has an absurdist or surrealist bent, creating a dreamlike or nightmarish atmosphere that reflects the sometimes senseless nature of the modern world.
