Leander Haußmann (sometimes Haussmann) (June 26, 1959, Quedlinburg) is a German theatre and film director.

He is the son of actor Edzard Haußmann and costume designer Doris Haußmann, and attended the Ernst Bloch theatre school in Berlin. He was the director of the theatre group of Bochum, also writing and acting in several plays (1995-2000), as well as having a role in the Detlev Buck film Männerpension.

He achieved his feature film breakthrough with Sonnenallee in 1999. His second feature, Herr Lehmann, followed in 2003.

His production of Die Fledermaus in Munich was a state scandal, which compounded the troubles surrounding the earlier Peter Pan. As a result, his production of Romeo and Juliet was cancelled.
