Гре́гор Джо́рдан (англ. Gregor Jordan, род. 1966) — австралийский кинорежиссёр. Его дебютная короткометражка Swinger (1995) была отмечена наградой на Каннском кинофестивале, а первый крупный коммерческий успех ему принесла криминальная комедия «Две руки» (1999), главную роль в которой исполнил Хит Леджер. В 2000-е годы Джордан работал в основном за пределами Австралии. Внимание критиков привлекли созданные им в США киноленты «Информаторы» (2008) — ретродрама по мотивам прозы Брета Истона Эллиса, и «Немыслимое» (2010) — политический триллер, посвящённый проблеме терроризма.Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
