Boštjan Hladnik (January 30, 1929May 30, 2006) was a Yugoslavian/Slovenian filmmaker.

Hladnik started out directing amateur films and went on to make a name for himself with several highly acclaimed short subjects. In 1957, Hladnik moved to Paris to apprentice under such French filmmakers as Claude Chabrol, Phillipe de Broca, and Robert Siodmak following his graduation from the Academy of Dramatic Art in Ljubljana. Hladnik's early-'60s features, Ples v Dežju/Dance in the Rain (1961) and Peščeni Grad/Sand Castle (1962), influenced the course of his country's cinema, through integrating influences from the nouvelle vague into it.
