Michael Prywes (born October 8, 1974, in New York, NY, U.S.), is an American director, producer, author, attorney, and screenwriter.

His feature film directing debut, Returning Mickey Stern had its theatrical release in New York and Los Angeles on April 25, 2003, and its DVD release in 2006. The collapse of his follow-up feature, The King of Summer, led to the 2005 New York Supreme Court lawsuit Prywes v. Eight Entertainment, et al. The production had been featured in the "Hollywood Reporter".
