Aaron Blabey (born January 1, 1974) is an Australian author of children's books and former actor in television and film roles throughout the 1990s and 2000s.

He is the creator of three best-selling children's series; Pig the Pug – a picture book series about a rude, selfish, mean-spirited little dog; The Bad Guys – a New York Times #1 bestselling graphic novel series for junior readers about a gang of scary-looking animals trying to change their bad reputations; and Thelma the Unicorn – a second picture book series about a plain little pony who pretends to be a unicorn. He married an Australian actress and speech pathologist Kirstie Hutton in 2000.
