Adam McKay (born April 17, 1968) is an American screenwriter, producer, and director. McKay began his career as a head writer for the NBC sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL) from 1995 to 2001.

Ferrell and McKay later co-wrote and co-produced many television series and films, with McKay himself co-producing their website, Funny or Die, through their company, Gary Sanchez Productions. McKay began venturing into more dramatic territory in the 2010s. He wrote and directed the satirical films The Big Short (2015), Vice (2018), and Don't Look Up (2021).
