Henric Hirsch (13 November 1923 – March 1999) was a Hungarian-Romanian theatre and television director.

Initially an experienced theatre director in Hungary, Hirsch fled to England to seek refuge following the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. There, he continued to direct for theatre but sought to move into television. After completing the BBC's directors course, his first assignment was directing a 1964 edition of TV anthology series First Night.

  1. ^ Although sources claim he was born in Hungary, this is in fact Hirsch's birth country (both are located within Central Europe) as listed on various Australian travel records.
