Jack Witikka (20 December 1916 – 28 January 2002; surname until 1942 Jakobsson) was a Finnish film director and screenwriter.

[2] Witikka's father was Evert Jakobsson , the unofficial world record holder and Olympic representative, deputy judge and insurance director.

[7] His feature film directorial debut was Aila – Pohjolan tytär (international title: Arctic Fury) (1951).

The film was initially planned for international distribution, but it failed to reach expected popularity in Finland.

Prior to that, the biography of the composer Gabriel Linsén, Mä oksalla ylimmällä, had premiered, through which Witikka's collaboration with author Walentin Chorell began.

It continued with the expressionist adult fairy tale film The Puppet Dealer and the Beautiful Lilith (1955).

The screenwriter for the Sillanpää filming was Juha Nevalainen, who wrote the screenplay for Edvin Laine's The Unknown Soldier.

In the following years, Witikka's film career continued mainly with light comedies such as Virtaset and Lahtiset (1959) and Iloinen Linnanmäki (1960).
