Erika Lust (born 1977) is a Swedish erotic film director, screenwriter and producer. Since the debut of her first indie erotic film The Good Girl in 2004, Lust has been cited as one of the current leading participants in the feminist pornography movement,[2][3] asserting that an ethical production process sets her company apart from mainstream pornography sites.

Lust has stated that she finds no issue in calling her films porn, since she expects viewers to be sexually aroused.[4] In addition to directing and producing a number of award-winning films, she has written several books.[5]
