Peter Medak (December 23, 1937) is a Hungary-born director of British and American movies.

He was born in Budapest, Hungary to a Jewish family, but in 1956 he fled his native country for England due to the uprising. There he began a career in the movie business, starting as a trainee and gradually rising until he become a film director. He was signed to direct television films for MCA Universal in 1963. In 1967 he signed with Paramount Pictures to make feature films. His first feature was Negatives, release in 1968.

Since then he has experienced an uneven career, producing some significant successes and a number of what were considered commercial failures. Some of his most notable works were The Ruling Class
(1972), The Changeling (1980), The Krays
(1990) and Let Him Have It
(1991). He has also directed a number of television episodes and movies, including the The Feast of All Saints mini-series in 2001.
