Arthur J. Codron (born 3 May 1963; age 60) is a visual effects (VFX) artist who, starting in the summer of 1993, first worked on the seventh season of Star Trek: The Next Generation as a VFX assistant editor, before moving on to work, promoted to junior position of VFX associate, on Star Trek: Deep Space Nine (albeit only for that series' finale, "What You Leave Behind", which however, did earn him his third Emmy Award nomination), Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise. During the early run of Voyager's second season, Codron was promoted to the senior position of VFX supervisor. Two characters in the Star Trek universe were named for him, Art Codron in the episode "Projections" and A. Codron in Star Trek: Enterprise. His work on Star Trek has earned him eight visual effects Emmy Award nominations, three of which he won.
