FutureWave Software was a software developer and publisher based in San Diego, CA. The company was founded by Charlie Jackson and Jonathan Gay in early 1993.

The company's first product was SmartSketch, a drawing program for the PenPoint OS and EO tablet computer. When Pen computing did not take off, SmartSketch was moved to the Windows and Macintosh platforms.

The company's second product was FutureSplash Animator, a cell-based animation editor.

In December of 1996, FutureWave was acquired by Macromedia, who renamed the animation editor Flash. Jonathan Gay continued to work on Flash at Macromedia until 2006.
