Sergio Corbucci (December 6, 1927 - December 1, 1990) was an Italian film director. He is best known for his very violent yet intelligent spaghetti westerns. He was for a long time considered an exploitation director, but has now attained a vast following and is easily compared to Sam Peckinpah or Sergio Leone. He is the older brother of screenwriter and film director Bruno Corbucci.

Sergio Corbucci ( Italian: [ˈsɛrdʒo korˈbuttʃi]; 6 December 1926 – 1 December 1990) was an Italian film director, screenwriter and producer. He was one of the main exponents of the Spaghetti Western genre during the 1960s and 1970s, with his most notable works including the original Django, Navajo Joe, The Great Silence, The Mercenary, and Compañeros. He also had a successful career directing comedies.
Corbucci is sometimes referred to as "the other Sergio", referring to fellow Spaghetti Western director Sergio Leone.
