Jane Campion (born April 30, 1954 in Wellington, New Zealand) is a film director. She is one of the most internationally successful New Zealand directors, although she claims not to identify closely with that country, and most of her work has been made in or financed by other countries, principally Australia and the USA. She came to prominence with the Oscar-nominated The Piano ( 1993) but her subsequent, more experimental and abrasive work has been less popular with the public.

Campion is one of the few successful female directors who can be labelled an auteur, and also one of the few whose work could be called feminist; her films are typically concerned with women in situations of oppression or restriction. However, Campion's work has often been criticised by feminists who are disappointed by Campion's recurrent theme of an oppressed female protagonist finding solace in a domineering male lover.
