Map of the Human Heart is the title of a 1993 film by New Zealand director Vincent Ward.

The film is set during World War II. The plot centers around the life of a Canadian Eskimo boy, Avik (played by Jason Scott Lee), who joins the Royal Canadian Air Force and eventually, as a crewmember of a Lancaster bomber, participates in the famous firebombing of Dresden. Throughout his life, he is haunted by love for a half-Métis girl, Albertine (played by Anne Parillaud).

The film was an Australian-French-Canadian co-production and also stars Patrick Bergin playing a very pivotal role in the film as both surrogate father and primary rival. Jeanne Moreau also has a minor role as a Québécois nun. John Cusack makes a small but important role as a "Mapmaker" who is told an incredible tale.
