Gamma Ray Burst light curves have strikingly different morphologies, ranging from a smooth single pulse to a complex series of overlapping pulses. We present multifractal analysis as a method for quantifying the variability in their morphology. Multifractal analysis was chosen because it measures the structure on different time scales which is typical of many GRBs. We provide an estimate of the error on this variability measure and look for correlations with other GRB characteristics including intensity and duration. This new measure may help to classify bursts, as well as identify repeaters and gravitationally lensed partners.
