Greg Sheridan is foreign editor of The Australian, one of Australia's only national newspapers, and one of its columnists. The Australian is the flagship Australian paper of Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation empire.

Writing on the region since the 1980's Sheridan is an Asia specialist, and has written four books on the region (listed in his emplyee profile linked to below). Sheridan is a Catholic and is considered to be a right-wing commentator, although his positions vary from any particular party.

Sheridan has a staunch supporter of closer ties between Australia and its Southeast Asian neighbours, particularly Indonesia, and was a vocal critic of Prime Minister John Howard's intervention in East Timor in 1999.

Sheridan is a supporter for countries such as Japan and Indonesia while often attacks opposing countries, such as the People's Republic of China. He calls Taiwan the only Chinese democracy in the world, and insists that mainland Chinese bitterness over Japanese wartime atrocities are merely a political game. However he is still optimistic about China's growing economy.

Sheridan often criticises academics and journalists he sees as being biased and/or politically left-wing. However some claim the neutrality of journalists in the employ of Rupert Murdoch, such as Sheridan, is under a cloud (for example, as argued in the documentary Outfoxed).
