Zak Penn (born 1968) is a screenwriter and director who is known for writing and directing Incident at Loch Ness and co-writing the script for X-Men: The Last Stand.
The screenplay for Last Action Hero, for which he received a Story By credit with Adam Leff, was nominated for a 1993 Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Screenplay; however, it lost to the Indecent Proposal script.

Recently, Penn has been hired to write the script for the sequel to Hulk and The Avengers.
