Andrzej Munk (16 October 1921 – 20 September 1961) was a Polish film director, screen writer and documentalist.

His feature films Man on the Tracks (Człowiek na torze, 1956), Eroica (Heroism, 1958), Bad Luck (Zezowate szczęście, 1960), and Passenger (Pasażerka 1963), are considered classics of the Polish Film School developed in mid-1950s.
