Roberto Gaston Orci is a producer and screenwriter from Mexico City who, along with writing and production partner Alex Kurtzman, wrote the script for Star Trek, the eleventh film in the Trek franchise. They also served as executive producers on the film. Orci and Kurtzman also produced and (along with Damon Lindelof) wrote the screenplay for the sequel, Star Trek Into Darkness.

After J.J. Abrams chose to direct the seventh Star Wars film instead of a third Star Trek, Orci was rumored (but never officially confirmed) as his replacement on Star Trek Beyond, and was officially out of the running for the director position by December 2014. He also contributed to the Star Trek video game and serves as creative consultant on the Star Trek: Ongoing comic series.
