Matthew "Matt" Selman (born September 9, 1971) is an American writer and producer. Selman grew up in Massachusetts, attended the University of Pennsylvania and was editor-in-chief of student magazine 34th Street Magazine. After considering a career in journalism, he decided to try to become a television writer. After two years of failed spec scripts he was eventually hired to write an episode of Seinfeld in 1996. Selman then joined the writing staff of The Simpsons, where he has remained, rising to the position of executive producer. He has written numerous episodes of the show, including "Natural Born Kissers", "Behind the Laughter", "Trilogy of Error", "Simpsons Bible Stories" (for which he won an Annie Award), "The Dad Who Knew Too Little" (for which he won a Writers Guild of America Award), and also "The Food Wife". He also co-wrote the 2007 film adaptation of the show, as well as the video games The Simpsons: Road Rage, The Simpsons Hit and Run and The Simpsons Game.

Selman grew up in Watertown, Massachusetts and is a graduate of Beaver Country Day School (in 1989) and the University of Pennsylvania (in 1993). At Pennsylvania he majored in history and served as Editor-in-Chief for the student arts and culture magazine 34th Street Magazine.
