Maurice Tourneur (født Maurice Félix Thomas) (, ); 2. februar 1876 – 4. august 1961) var en fransk filminstruktør og manuskriptforfatter.Waldman, Harry. Maurice Tourneur: The Life and Films. McFarland (2001)
Efter at have instrueret flere innovative film for Adolph Zukors Artcraft Pictures Corporation (som frigav film gennem Paramount) i 1917 og 1918, søsatte Tourneur sit eget produktionsselskab med filmen Sporting Life. I 1921 blev han statsborger i USA. I 1922 mente han at fremtiden for filmindustri lå i Hollywood og det følgende år blev han hyret af Samuel Goldwyn til at rejse mod vest og lave en filmversion af bogen The Christian af Hall Caine. Tourneurs karriere i USA svandt dog ind, da hans billedfortælling af og til hindrede den fortællemæssige fremdrift i filmene. Han blev fjernet fra produktionen af Metro-Goldwyn-Mayers version af Jules Vernes The Mysterious Island i 1928 og dette markerede enden på hans amerikanske karriere.
