"The Great Ecstasy of Woodcarver Steiner" (Ge. "Die Große Ekstase des Bildschnitzers Steiner") is a 1974 documentary film by German filmmaker Werner Herzog.

The film includes footage shot in the German towns of Oberstdorf and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, as well as Planica in Yugoslavia. The film was made as part of a series for a German television station, which restricted in some ways the content. Herzog's original cut was 60 minutes long, but it was edited down to 45 minutes to fit in a one hour television spot. Also, the station required Herzog himself to appear on camera, which he had not typically done in his documentaries until this point.
