Fritz Kirchhoff (1901–1953) was a German screenwriter, film producer and director.
He was a noted director during the Nazi era, directing film such as the anti-British propaganda thriller Attack on Baku (1942).
His 1942 film 5 June, showing the German defeat of France in 1940, was banned by Joseph Goebbels for unclear reasons, although it has been speculated it was to avoid offending the Vichy government.
After the Second World War Kirchoff set up his own production company in Hamburg.
