Endre Antal Miksa de Toth, known as Andre de Toth[b] (Hungarian: Tóth Endre; May 15, 1913[1][2] – October 27, 2002), was a Hungarian-American film director, born and raised in Makó, Austria-Hungary.[3]

He directed the 3D film House of Wax (1953), despite being unable to see in 3D himself, having lost an eye at an early age. Upon naturalization as a United States citizen in 1945, he took "Endre Antal Miksa de Toth" as his legal name.
