Dominik Graf (born 6 September 1952) is a German film director.
He studied film direction at University of Television and Film Munich, from where he graduated in 1975. While he has directed several theatrically released feature films since the 1980s, he more often finds work in television, focussing primarily on the genres police drama, thriller and crime mystery, although he has also made comedies, melodramas, documentaries and essay films. He is an active participant in public discourse about the values of genre film in Germany, through numerous articles, and interviews, some of which have been collected into a book.
Graf achieved international recognition in 2014 with his film Beloved Sisters, which was selected as the German entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 87th Academy Awards, but was not nominated.
