Lu Xuechang (Chinese: 路学长; pinyin: 路學長) (born 1964, Beijing, China) is a sixth generation Chinese film director. One of a new crop of talented filmmakers, Lu has directed four feature films beginning with his debut, The Making of Steel in 1997.

Like many of his present-day peers, critics have seen elements of foreign filmmakers in Lu's work with Lu himself claiming to enjoy Italian cinema (although he stops short of naming specific influences). Also like his peers, however, Lu has had his share of run-ins with the censors. The Making of Steel for example, was recut six times before it was allowed to be screened.
