A legislator (or lawmaker) is a person who writes and passes laws, especially someone who is a member of a legislature.

Legislatures may be supra-national (for example, the European Parliament), national (for example, the United States Congress), regional (for example, the National Assembly for Wales), or local (for example, local authorities).
