Jared Raab is a Canadian screenwriter and cinematographer, best known for his work on the television series Nirvanna the Band the Show.

A native of Millbrook, Ontario, Raab studied film at York University. He made several short films before gaining wider attention with his 2011 short film The Revenge Plot, which won the audience choice award at the 2011 RBC Emerging Filmmakers Competition. For several years afterward he directed music videos for artists such as Born Ruffians, Arkells, Ohbijou, Diamond Rings, PS I Love You, Snailhouse, Young Rival and Fast Romantics. He received two Prism Prize nominations as a music video director: in 2017 for July Talk's "Picturing Love" and in 2021 for Andy Shauf's "Clove Cigarette".

He was the cinematographer on Matt Johnson's films The Dirties and Operation Avalanche before Johnson and Jay McCarroll created Nirvanna the Band the Show, for which Raab was both cinematographer and one of the writers.

He was nominated twice for the Canadian Screen Award for Best Writing in a Comedy Series for Nirvanna the Band the Show, receiving nominations at the 6th Canadian Screen Awards in 2018 for "The Bean" and at the 7th Canadian Screen Awards in 2019 for "The Book", and was also nominated for Best Direction in a Documentary Series at the 10th Canadian Screen Awards in 2022 for "This Is Pop".
