'''Grant Naylor''' was the [[pseudonym|collective name]] used by writers [[Rob Grant]] and [[Doug Naylor]] for their collaborative work, including the television series ''[[Red Dwarf]]''. Grant and Naylor themselves called this pseudonym a "gestalt entity" (i.e., something which is greater than the sum of its parts).

The collaboration began in the mid-1980s, when the duo co-wrote [[BBC Radio 4]] programmes such as ''Cliché'' and its sequel ''[[Son of Cliché]]'', and television programmes such as the [[United Kingdom|British]] satire ''[[Spitting Image]]'', office-based comedy ''[[The 10%ers]]'', and various projects for [[Jasper Carrott]]. The pair are also credited with writing the lyrics to "[[The Chicken Song]]" and a number of other musical parodies for ''Spitting Image''.

The 'Grant Naylor' collaboration, as it had become known, created the cult science-fiction comedy series ''Red Dwarf''. Later episodes of ''Red Dwarf'' were made by a company named after this pseudonym, '''Grant Naylor Productions'''.

In the mid-1990s, after Series VI of ''Red Dwarf'', Grant left the show, ending the collaboration between Grant and Naylor, but Grant Naylor Productions continued.

Later series of ''Red Dwarf'' were written by Naylor, sometimes in collaboration with other writers, particularly on series 7.

After the end of the eighth series of ''Red Dwarf'' in 1999, Grant Naylor Productions (under Doug Naylor) attempted to make a feature-length movie version of the series.<ref name="The movie">{{cite web|url=http://www.thereddwarfzone.co.uk/movie.htm |title=Red Dwarf The movie |publisher=www.thereddwarfzone.co.uk |access-date=2008-02-07 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080204141520/http://www.thereddwarfzone.co.uk/movie.htm#filming |archive-date=2008-02-04 |url-status=dead }}</ref> However, it proved impossible to find sufficient funding.
