Jerome Edward Ranft is a character sculptor for Pixar Animation Studios. He is the younger brother of the late Pixar storyboard artist Joe Ranft. Jerome joined Pixar in 1997 working as a character sculptor on the short film Geri's Game (1997) and later on Pixar's second movie A Bug's Life (1998), Toy Story 2 (1999), Monsters, Inc. (2001), Finding Nemo (2003), Cars (2006), Ratatouille (2007), Toy Story 3 (2010), and Brave (2012). He stated in an interview that he does not fall in love with just one sculpture he made but all of them, and that, for the character of Sulley, he created over 30 sculptures.

Ranft also provided the voice of the character Gamma in Up (2009) and the short film Dug's Special Mission and Red in Cars Toons: Tales from Radiator Springs, as well as the voice of the Mover in Henry Selick's Coraline.

Before joining Pixar, he served as a character sculptor for Disney's The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993) and James and the Giant Peach (1996).
