James Swallow is a British author, journalist and scriptwriter.

Swallow is the only British writer to have worked on a Star Trek television series, having written the original story premises for "One" and "Memorial", two episodes of the series Star Trek: Voyager; he also wrote the script for the videogame Star Trek: Invasion.

His writing includes "Closure", a story for the Voyager 10th anniversary anthology Distant Shores and "Ordinary Days", a story for the Star Trek: The Next Generation 20th anniversary anthology The Sky's the Limit.

Swallow also wrote Day of the Vipers, the first novel of the Star Trek: Terok Nor mini-series, which was released in March 2008. Swallow's story, "Seeds of Dissent", features in Infinity's Prism, book one of the Star Trek: Myriad Universes series.

In 2009, Swallow's work will appear in the anthologies Shards and Shadows, and Seven Deadly Sins. He will also write the sixth Star Trek: Titan novel, Synthesis.

As a journalist, his work has appeared in several different official Star Trek publications in several languages (including Star Trek Monthly, Star Trek Fact Files, and Star Trek: The Magazine).

In Star Trek Monthly issue 46, Swallow listed the following as the best episodes from Star Trek: Deep Space Nine's first six seasons:

Along with his work on the Final Frontier, he is the author of several original books and tie-in novels, as well as scripts for videogames and audio dramas.

Outside of Star Trek, he has written several Doctor Who stories: two Big Finish audio dramas, Singularity and Old Soldiers, the novel Peacemaker and several stories in the anthologies Short Trips: Dalek Empire, Short Trips: Destination Prague and Short Trips: Snapshots. This makes him the only writer to have contributed to an episode of Star Trek and a Doctor Who story.
