Fei Mu (1906-1951) was a major Chinese film director from the pre-Communist era.

Born in Shanghai, China, Fei Mu is considered by many to be one of the major film directors prior to the Communist revolution in 1949, or part of the so called "Second Generation." Known for his artistic style and costume dramas, he is perhaps most famous for his 1948 influential masterpiece Spring in a Small Town (later remade by Tian Zhuangzhuang in 2002 as Springtime in a Small Town) about a love triangle in post-war China. Following the Communist revolution, much of his filmography was forgotten or ignored, rejected by leftist critics as indicative of rightist ideologies. Recently, however, he has been rediscovered, particularly in Hong Kong, where Spring in a Small Town was declared one of the greatest Chinese films ever made in 2002 by the Hong Kong Film Critics Association.

Fei Mu died in Hong Kong in 1951.
