Nicholaus Edward Goossen (born August 18, 1978 Tarzana, California) is an American film director.

Goossen's first feature film was "Grandma's Boy" for Happy Madison Productions and 20th Century Fox. He collaborated with Adam Sandler (executive producer of "Grandma's Boy") on the album "Shhh...Don't Tell" as a writer and co-producer in addition to performing on the track "Gay Robot".

Goossen directed the music video for the album's first single "Secret". It features Adam Sandler and comedian Nick Swardson (Co-writer and star of "Grandma's Boy") singing about the benefits of having trimmed pubic hair.

Goossen's previous credits include the short film A Day With the Meatball, which once again featured Sandler but focused primarily on his beloved bulldog Meatball. The two minute piece showcases the dog meandering around various places until he ends up back in his master's arms. It was shown in theaters around the United States in 2002 as an attachment to Sandler's animated film "Eight Crazy Nights".

Goossen helped create Sandler's official website and directed several short films for the site.
