Arthur Cohn (born 4 February 1927) is a Swiss film producer and a multiple Academy Award winner.

[1] Cohn was born to a Jewish family,[2] the son of Marcus Cohn, a lawyer and leader of the Swiss Zionist movement who moved to Israel in 1949 where he helped to write many of the basic laws of the new state and served as Israel’s assistant attorney-general.

[3] After completing high school, Cohn became a journalist and a reporter for Swiss Radio, covering the Middle East as well as soccer and ice hockey games.

Cohn divides his time between Basel and Los Angeles and is regarded as a hands-on producer who is strongly involved with the development of the script until the final touches of the editing process.

He also produced films by Kevin Macdonald (One Day in September) and Walter Salles (Central Station, Behind the Sun).
