Gustaf Gründgens (December 22, 1899 Düsseldorf-October 7, 1963 Manila) also known as Gustaf Grundgens, Gustave Grundgens, Gustav Heinrich Arnold Gründgens, Gustav Gründgens or Gustav Grundgens was a German film director, actor, film producer, theatre director and intendant. His child is called Peter Gorski.

Born into a family of actors, Gründgens began his acting career in the 1920s and quickly gained popularity in Germany's theater scene. He became a leading actor of the Deutsche Theater in Berlin, where he starred in numerous productions and collaborated closely with director Max Reinhardt.

In the 1930s, Gründgens was appointed director of the prestigious Prussian State Theatre in Berlin, where he also continued to act and direct in a variety of productions. Despite his successful career, he became associated with the Nazi regime after being appointed director of the "Reichstheaterkammer" in 1933.

After World War II, Gründgens faced accusations of collaboration with the Nazis, although he was ultimately exonerated. He continued his career in the post-war period, including directorial work for the Hamburg State Opera and a return to the stage as an actor. However, his reputation suffered and he faced ongoing criticism for his association with the Nazi regime.

Gründgens died of a heart attack while on tour in the Philippines in 1963. Despite the controversies surrounding his career, he remains an important figure in German theater history and his influence on German acting and directing can still be felt today.
