Jack Perez is an American film and television director, screenwriter and film professor. He directed the comedy-thriller Some Guy Who Kills People executive produced by John Landis. He also directed Mega Shark Versus Giant Octopus, whose trailer went viral, and was named by Yahoo! as one of the top 10 trailers of 2009, with more trailer views than Avatar.

His first feature film, "America’s Deadliest Home Video" (1991) was a groundbreaker in the found-footage field - an ahead-of-its-time application of the vérité-video form to the horror/crime genre.

He lives in Portland, Oregon.
