Bruno Dumont (born 1958, Bailleul, France) is a French film director. To date, he has directed four feature films, all of which border somewhere between realistic drama and the avant-garde. His film L'humanité won several awards at the Cannes film festival in 1999, including the Jury Grand Prize.

Dumont has a background of Greek and German philosophy, and of corporate video.[1] His films often show extreme violence and provocative sexual behavior, and are usually classified as art films. Dumont has himself likened his films to visual arts, and he typically uses long shots, close-ups of people's bodies, and story lines involving extreme emotions.

He says that some of his favorite filmmakers are Stanley Kubrick, Ingmar Bergman, Pasolini, Rossellini, and Kiarostami.
