Marc Munden is a BAFTA-winning English film director best known for his work on Utopia, National Treasure and The Mark of Cain among others.

Munden began his career as an assistant to Mike Leigh, Derek Jarman and Terence Davies before directing documentaries for television at the BBC.

His first film, Bermondsey Boy (1991), was a documentary examining some of the myths of masculinity, which won a Silver Plaque at the Chicago International Film Festival and was nominated for the BFI Award for Innovation.

In 2007 Munden directed The Mark of Cain, picking up the BAFTA Award for Best Single Drama and earning Munden his first nomination for Best Director. He also received BAFTA nominations for The Devil's Whore (2009) and The Crimson Petal and the White (2011).

Munden went on to direct the cult hit Utopia (2013–2014). The series received high praise for its striking visuals, but also some expressions of concern about its violence. Mark Monahan of The Daily Telegraph described it as "a dark, tantalisingly mysterious overture", while Sam Wollaston of The Guardian called it "a work of brilliant imagination", "a 21st-century nightmare" that "looks beautiful", but also wondered about the gratuitousness of its violence. The series won an International Emmy Award for Best Drama Series in 2014 and Munden received a BAFTA nomination for Best Director.
