Jean-Claude Lauzon （September 29, 1953 – August 10, 1997） was a Canadian filmmaker and screenwriter.
Born to a working class family in Montreal, Quebec, Lauzon dropped out of high school and worked various jobs before studying film at the Université du Québec à Montréal.

Lauzon's career was cut short by his death in a plane crash in 1997 at the age of 43.
Born to a working class family in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, Lauzon worked a variety of odd jobs after dropping out of high school.
He went on to study film at the Université du Québec à Montréal at the behest of Andre Petrowski, a member of the National Film Board of Canada.

His first short film, titled Super Maire, won the Norman McLaren Grand Prize at the Canadian Student Film Festival in 1979.
His second short film, titled Piwi, which he started work...
