Willy Lindwer (1946) is a Dutch documentary filmmaker.

Willy Lindwer was born in Amsterdam, Netherlands, where he studied at the Netherlands Film and Television Academy. When Lindwer finished his study, he worked for several Dutch production companies. In 1985 he established his own company, AVA-Productions, in which he has made most of his films.

He is best known for his films on the Holocaust, Israel and the Middle-East, Judaism and Christianity, but has experience in a wide area of documentary filmmaking.

In 1988 he won the International Emmy Award for his film "The Last Seven Months of Anne Frank". This film contains the testimonies of seven women who were witness to the last months of Anne Frank's life in the Nazi concentration camps, including Hannah Goslar, who knew Anne Frank before she went into hiding, and Janny Brilleslijper who buried her in Bergen-Belsen.

Willy Lindwer has also published several books, some of which are based on the films he has made. His most famous work as an author is also "The Last Seven Months of Anne Frank", translated into English by Alison Meersschaert.

In recent years, Willy Lindwer lives in Jerusalem.
