Normand Bergeron (born July 31, 1963) is a Canadian filmmaker, screenwriter and academic from Quebec. He is best known for the short film Inséparables, which won the Prix Jutra for Best Live Action Short Film at the 3rd Jutra Awards in 2001, and for co-writing The Vinland Club (Le Club Vinland), which earned a Prix Iris nomination for Best Screenplay at the 23rd Quebec Cinema Awards in 2021.

Bergeron began his career making short films La Mémoire infidèle (1995), L'Hypothèse rivale (1997) and Inséparables (2000).
