Ryan Cohen (born 1986) is a Canadian billionaire businessman and activist investor. He founded the online pet retailer Chewy in 2011 and built it into the largest e-commerce pet business in the United States before its $3.35 billion sale to PetSmart in 2017, which at the time was the largest e-commerce acquisition on record. Cohen is the chairman and CEO of GameStop, where he oversaw a financial turnaround that returned the company to profitability, cutting costs and expanding into collectibles, with the company reporting record operating income in early 2026.

Cohen has been dubbed the "Meme King" for his influence on meme stocks such as that of GameStop.
