Twila Paris Wright (born December 28, 1958 in Fort Worth, Texas) is a Contemporary Christian songwriter and singer.

As of 2004, she has released eighteen albums. Thirty-two of her singles have reached the Number 1 position on Christian radio national airplay charts. She has received five GMA Music Awards, and three American Songwriter Awards.

Many of her songs are used as worship music in evangelical Christian churches. Her songs have been included in many hymnals. Staple songs in Paris' career include "He Is Exalted", "God Is In Control", "We Bow Down" and "The Warrior Is A Child".

Her uncle, Loren Cunningham was the founder of Youth With a Mission, while her family started Ecclesia College in Elm Springs, AR, where her brother Oren Paris III is president and father Oren Paris II is chancellor.

She and her husband Jack Wright have one child, Jack Paris Wright, born April 29, 2001. They live in Elm Springs, Arkansas.
