Alexandre Jouan-Arcady (born August 7, 1978), known professionally as Alexandre Aja, is a French filmmaker. He created the pseudonym "Aja" by taking the initial letters of his full name.

He has gone on to direct other notable horror films such as Mirrors (2008), Piranha 3D (2010), Horns (2013), Crawl (2019), and Never Let Go (2024).
