Kenji Mizoguchi

, Japon bir film yönetmeni ve senaristti.

Mizoguchi'nin eseri, uzun süren çekimler ve mizanseni ile ünlüdür. Yazar Mark Le Fanu'ya göre, "Filmleri olağanüstü bir güç ve saflığa sahip, izleyiciyi insan acılarıyla yüz yüze kaldıkları güç, incelik ve merhametle sallamakta hareket ettiriyorlar."  şeklinde ifadetmiştir.

Ugetsu (1953), Venedik Film Festivali'nde Gümüş Aslan'ı kazandı ve 1962 ve 1972 yıllarındaki Sight & Sound Critics Top Ten Anketinde yer aldı. Diğer Kritiklerin Öyküsü (1939), Oharu'nun Hayatı (1952) ve Yargıtay Sansosu (1954) gibi Mizoguchi'nin diğer tanınmış filmleridir.
