Wajdi Mouawad, OC, (born ) is a Lebanese-Canadian writer, actor, and director.
He is known in Canadian and French theatre for politically engaged works such as the acclaimed[1] play Incendies ().

From to , he led the Théâtre de Quat'sous in Montreal.[4]
In he directed and produced his first film, Littoral, based on the play of the same name.[5]
In September , he became the artistic director of the National Arts Centre's French Theatre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.[6][7]
In early , Mouawad cast French rock musician Bertrand Cantat in Chœurs, his production of a trilogy of Greek plays by Sophocles.
This sparked widespread public criticism in Canada, as Cantat had recently been released after serving four years for the murder of his girlfriend, French actress Marie Trintignant. Canadian politicians suggested barring Cantat's entry into the country, as he failed to meet legal requirements for the entry of ex convicts.
