Atom Egoyan (en armenio, Ատոմ Եղոյան) (n. 19 de julio de 1960) es un director de cine canadiense y de origen armenio. Algunos temas recurrentes de su trabajo son la alienación y la soledad, que trata mediante personajes cuyas interacciones están mediadas por la tecnología, la burocracia u otras estructuras de poder. Algunas de sus películas siguen estructuras sin linealidad cronológica, en las cuales los acontecimientos se organizan de manera no secuencial con el fin de provocar reacciones emocionales en el espectador ocultando la clave de la historia. Su primera película, Next of Kin, data de 1984. Algunas cintas notables de su carrera son Exotica, The Sweet Hereafter, Ararat y Where the Truth Lies.
