Denis Villeneuve (/vɪlˈnuːv/ vill-NOOV; French: [dəni vilnœv]; born October 3, 1967) is a Québécois film director and screenwriter. He has received seven Canadian Screen Awards as well as nominations for four Academy Awards, five BAFTA Awards, and two Golden Globe Awards. Villeneuve's films have grossed more than $1.8 billion worldwide.

Villeneuve began his filmmaking career in Quebec cinema, directing four French-language dramas: August 32nd on Earth (1998), Maelström (2000), Polytechnique (2009), and Incendies (2010), with the latter garnering him international prominence and an Academy Award for Best International Feature Film nomination. He subsequently expanded into English-language films, directing the thrillers Prisoners (2013), Enemy (2013), and Sicario (2015). Like Incendies, each of these was critically acclaimed.
