Park Heung-sik (born 1962) is a South Korean film director and screenwriter.
Park studied at the Free University of Berlin, where he received a master's degree in filmology.
For his second feature, The Railroad, Park drew on his own experiences and set out to create a film with a story that he wanted to tell.
Paolo Bertolin of The Korea Times commented that while Park took his time in delivering the film's subdued climax, he "nevertheless displays an assured command of visual composition and emotional punctuation".
