Jacques Audiard (born April 30, 1952 in Paris) is a French film director .

At the beginning of the 1980s he successfully began screenwriting, including Reveillon chez Bob! and Mortelle randonnée, Baxter, Fréquence Meurtre and Saxo.

In 1994 he directed the film Regarde les hommes tomber, a road movie with Mathieu Kassovitz and Jean-Louis Trintignant. The film won the César for the best first film and the prix Georges-Sadoul. Two years later he reunited with Mathieu Kassovitz on his second movie Un héros très discret adapted from the eponymous novel by Jean-François Deniau.

His third movie received 10 nominations at the Césars and won eight, among them the awardfor best film, best director, best screenplay, best film music, and best cinematography.

He also released some clips, among them Comme elle vient by Noir Désir where all the actors were deaf-mute and interpret the lyrics of the song in sign language. The beginning of the feature (a sequence with subtitles) created a minor scandal. It displayed three women discussing politics who come to the conclusion that "it is better to be deaf than to listen to that".
