Rolf Forsberg (born July 12, 1924) is an American playwright, film and theater director.

Forsberg is known for directing films such as The Late Great Planet Earth and Parable, a film produced for the 1964 New York World's Fair.

Parable portrayed humanity as a traveling circus and Jesus Christ as a circus clown. This marked a new depiction of Christ and inspired the musical Godspell. Parable went on to be honored at Cannes, the Edinburgh Film Festival and Venice Film Festival.

On June 8, 2013, the UCLA Film and Television Archive offered a retrospective of the works of Rolf Forsberg titled The Outre World of Rolf Forsberg.
