Robert C. Cooper is a Canadian writer and producer. He is currently an executive producer of both Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. He also co-created Atlantis.

Cooper has written many episode of Stargate SG-1 and Atlantis, many of which consistently end up in lists of favorite episodes.

Cooper was responsible for creating much of the backstory of the Stargate universe. Cooper created the Ancients, the race that built the stargates. He also developed the idea of the Alliance of Four Races, even though two of the races had been invented by other writers (the Nox and the Asgard created by Hart Hanson and Katharyn Powers respectively).

According to Stargate SG - 1: The Essential Scripts Cooper's ideas about the history of the Stargate universe were his own, he wasn't working from ideas in a series bible.

Cooper became a co-executive producer in season 4, and a full executive producer in season 5. He made a cameo appearance in the Stargate SG-1 fifth season episode "Wormhole X-Treme!", in which he was a staff writer who was told to get back to work.
