Alfonso Cuarón Orozco (; born 28 November 1961 ) is a Mexican film director, screenwriter and film producer, best known for his films Children of Men, Y tu mamá también, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, and A Little Princess.

In 2003, Cuarón directed the third film in the successful Harry Potter series, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Cuarón faced criticism from some of the more purist Harry Potter fans for his approach to the film.

Critically, the film was also better received than the first two instalments, with some critics remarking that it was the first Harry Potter film to truly capture the essence of the novels.

He is joined by producer David Heyman, who Cuarón worked with on Harry Potter.
