Maj Wechselmann (born 1 April 1942, in Copenhagen), is a Danish-Swedish documentary director and filmmaker, known for expressing radical social criticism in her documentaries.

She went through drama school in Odense, and studied film directing at the University College of Film, Radio, Television and Theatre in Stockholm in the early 1970s.

[2] Her breakthrough as a documentary filmmaker was in 1972 with Viggen 37: Ett militärplans historia, about the Swedish Saab 37 Viggen combat aircraft.

[3] She is sometimes controversial, and has been described as pugnacious[4] and humourless,[5] but her critics also remark on the strong pathos that drives her work.
