Jorge Eduardo Wright (20 April 1922 – 2005) was an Argentine mycologist.
He was awarded a Latin American Guggenheim Fellowship and studied under Alexander H. Smith at the University of Michigan, under whom he received his Master of Science degree in botany in 1955.
A year later he was awarded his doctorate from the University of Buenos Aires based on his research on the gasteromycetes and other basidiomycetes.
Wright became a full professor in systematic botany at this university in 1960, a position he held until his retirement in 1988.
