Atom Egoyan (Armeens: Ատոմ Էգոյան) (Caïro, Egypte, 19 juli 1960) is een Canadees filmregisseur van Armeense afkomst, een van de belangrijkere onafhankelijke filmmakers van zijn tijd. Egoyan maakt veel gebruik van films in films, video's en televisieschermen in zijn werk, waarbij hij het onvermogen van de media om de waarheid vast te leggen onderzoekt. De plot wordt zelden lineair verteld. Belangrijke thema's zijn zijn Armeense afkomst, vervreemding en isolement. Egoyan heeft tevens enkele opera's geregisseerd.
