Maxime Giroux (born 16 April 1976) is a film director from Quebec, Canada.
Giroux was born in Montreal, Quebec. He has directed several short films, videoclips and commercial videos. In 2006, his film The Days (Les Jours) won the prize for best short film at the Toronto International Film Festival,[1] and in 2007 his film Red (Le Rouge au sol) won the award for Best Live Action Short Drama at the 27th Genie Awards.
In October 2007, he began working on his first feature film, Tomorrow (Demain), which premiered at the Torino Film Festival in 2008[3] before going into commercial release in 2009.[4]

In 2022 he was the patron and curator of the Festival Vues dans la tête de... film festival in Rivière-du-Loup.[7] The festival had been slated to host the premiere of his film Norbourg; however, the film was not screened at that time due to the organizers' decision in January to cancel the planned in-person screenings and shift to an online model in light of the continued COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec.[8]
