Claudio Fragasso (born 2 October 1951) is a film director and screenwriter.
Fragasso started in the Italian film industry in the mid-1970s working as a screenwriter and first attempted to make art films in the early 1970s.
Fragasso met with director Bruno Mattei which led to partnership of about 15 years with the two working together on films, with Fragasso often going uncredited.
Fragasso would also make his own films in the 1980s including Monster Dog with rock musician Alice Cooper and After Death.
Fragasso would make the film Troll 2 in 1989 which later went on to become popular enough to have a documentary Best Worst Movie follow the making and cult fandom of the film.
