Jonathan Glazer (born 26 March 1965) is an English filmmaker. He began his career in theatre before transitioning into film, directing the features Sexy Beast (2000), Birth (2004), Under the Skin (2013), and The Zone of Interest (2023). His accolades include a BAFTA Award, a British Independent Film Award, and a César Award.

Glazer's work is defined by depictions of flawed and desperate characters, by themes such as alienation, loneliness and individualism, and by a bold visual style which uses an omniscient perspective and dramatic music. For the historical drama The Zone of Interest, he won the Grand Prix at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival and the BAFTA Award for Outstanding British Film and received Academy Award nominations for Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay. Glazer also accepted the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film on behalf of the United Kingdom.
