Joris Ivens (18. november 1898 - 28. juni 1989) var en hollandsk dokumentarfilmskaber og ivrig kommunist. Han betragtes generelt som en af det tyvende århundredes vigtigste dokumentarfilmskabere.

Ivens voksede op hos en rig familie og begyndte at arbejde i sin fars fotobutik, hvorfor han begyndte at interessere sig for film. Han færdiggjorde sin første film som 13-årig; på universitetet studerede han økonomi med henblik på at overtage sin fars forretning, men begyndte i stedet at blive interesseret i klasseproblemer. Oprindeligt fokuserede hans værker på teknik - hvilket nogle mener gik ud over relevansen, specielt i hans 10 minutter lange kortfilm Regn, filmet over 2 år og med imponerende kameraføring og et antal "personer" (but no information about them aside from what was visible) and in The Bridge (which showed a frank admiration of engineering and also featured a number of "characters" but again did not give any information about them).

Probably the best known of his early films is his 10-minute short Rain (Regen).

In 1933 Ivens made Misère au Borinage (Borinage) with Henri Storck, a moving and militant documentary about life in a coal mining region.

From 1936 to 1945 Ivens lived in the United States and made anti-fascist and other propaganda films (including the propaganda piece for the Spanish loyalists The Spanish Earth, narrated by Ernest Hemingway). With the rise of McCarthyism, Ivens (long a vocal communist) left the United States. In 1946, commissioned to make a Dutch film about Indonesian "independence," Ivens resigned out of protest of what he considered ongoing imperialism. For about a decade Ivens lived in Eastern-Europe, working for several studio's there. His position concerning Indonesia and his taking sides for the Eastern Block in the Cold War annoyed the Dutch government. Over a period of many years, he was obliged to renew his passport every three or four months. According to later mythology however, he lost his passport for ten years, which is not true. From 1965 to 1970 he filmed life in North Vietnam during the war: 17e parallèle: La guerre du peuple (17th Parallel: Vietnam in War) and participated in the collective work Loin du Vietnam (Far from Vietnam).

From 1971 to 1977 he filmed How Yukong Moved the Mountain, a 763 minute documentary about the Cultural Revolution in China. Ivens was knighted by the Dutch government in 1989; he died on June 28 that same year. Shortly before his death he made the last of more than 40 films Une histoire de vent (A tale of the wind).

Joris Ivens was awarded Lenin Peace Prize for the year 1967.
