Quax the Crash Pilot (German: Quax, der Bruchpilot) is a 1941 German comedy film directed by Kurt Hoffmann and starring Heinz Rühmann, Karin Himboldt and Lothar Firmans.

It is based on an aviation story by Hermann Grote about an everyday man who wins a newspaper competition that offers free flying lessons.

It was followed by a sequel Quax in Africa which was also made during the Nazi era, but not released until 1947.

Nightfighter pilot Wilhelm Johnen recalled it being shown at Venlo airfield on the evening of his unit's first operation over the Ruhr in late March 1942.
