Kang Je-gyu (born December 23, 1962) is a South Korean film director.

Shiri was the first big budget Hollywood-style action film made in Korea, which broke box office records and was partially responsible for the popularization of domestic films in the country.

Taegukgi, directed five years later, again rewrote box office records, having been seen by over ten million people in South Korea alone.
