Tony Jay (1930? – 2006) is the actor who played Campio in the fifth season episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation called "Cost of Living".

Jay is noted primarily as a voiceover actor on animated television shows, films, and video games. Perhaps his most notable voice work is the ruthless Shere Khan in Disney's Jungle Book-based Tale Spin series, from 1990 through 1994. Jay would go on to voice Shere Khan in Disney's 2003 film, The Jungle Book 2, in which John Rhys-Davies also supplied his voice.

Other voiceover roles Jay has done for Disney films include Monsieur D'Arque in 1991's Beauty and the Beast, and the evil Frollo in 1996's The Hunchback of Notre Dame. The former also featured the voice of David Ogden Stiers, while the latter featured the voices of Stiers and Jason Alexander. Outside of his work with Disney, Jay also supplied the voice of Dr. Lipschitz on Nickelodeon's Rugrats, as well as in two Rugrats films. He also voiced the evil virus Megabyte in acclaimed CG animated series Reboot.

As an actor, Jay has appeared in such films as Woody Allen' Love and Death (1975), Ivan Reitman s Twins (1988, with fellow TNG guest stars Nehemiah Persoff and Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa), and the science fiction comedy My Stepmother Is an Alien (1988). He also had recurring roles as Paracelcus on the TV series Beauty and the Beast, starring Ron Perlman and Stephen McHattie, and as Nigel St. John on Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, starring Teri Hatcher.

Jay passed away on 13 August 2006 following complications from micro-surgery to remove a non-cancerous tumor from his lungs. He was 76 years old.
