José A(gustín) Ferreyra (28 August 1889 – 29 January 1943), popularly known as "Negro Ferreyra" (Black Ferreyra, due to his partially African ancestry), was an early Argentine film director, screenwriter and film producer. He was also sometimes credited as production designer.

Ferreyra was born in Vicente López, Gran Buenos Aires. He began simultaneously directing and screenwriting for film in 1915, and moved on to success directing films such as Palomas rubias in 1920. His films tended to focus on lower-class family drama, most notably Perdón, viejita (1927), and were filmed on a low budget and with little to no script as a guide. Ferreyra prevailes through the 1920s and 1930s as a distinguished filmmaker of the masses, but was displaced in the late 1930s and early 1940s by big budget cinema. He directed over 40 films and wrote the scripts for the majority of them between 1915 and 1941, working with noted actors such as Libertad Lamarque and Mario Soffici on his screen debut, before moving on to directing.

He died on 29 January 1943 from laryngeal cancer.

José Agustín Ferreyra, cuyo apodo era "el Negro Ferreyra", fue un reconocido actor y director de cine que dirigió numerosas películas en las etapas iniciales del cine argentino. Nació en Buenos Aires el 28 de agosto de 1889 y falleció en la misma ciudad el 29 de enero de 1943; su afición a la pintura lo llevó a convertirse cuando aun era muy joven en uno de los primeros escenógrafos teatrales argentinos, lo que a su vez lo condujo a la realización cinematográfica.
