James Wan (born 26 February 1977) is an Australian filmmaker. He has primarily worked in the horror genre as the co-creator of the Saw and Insidious franchises and the creator of The Conjuring Universe.

Beginning his career with the Saw franchise, Wan made his feature directorial debut with his first film in 2004.
