Jesús Salvador Treviño (born March 26, 1946, in El Paso, Texas) is an American television director of Mexican descent.

Jesús Treviño began his career in film and television as a student activist documenting the 1960s Chicano civil rights struggle with a super-8 camera.

He has directed two films, a feature and a documentary respectively, Raices de Sangre (Roots of Blood) (1978) and One Out of Ten (1979).

Upon finishing Raices, Treviño received funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities for a multi-part series on Chicano history, La Historia, which was eventually halted due to defunding upon the opening years of the Reagan administration.
