Seweryn Steinwurzel (1898–1983) was a Polish cinematographer.[1] He was active during the Second Polish Republic beginning in the silent era. Of Jewish background, the film producer Leo Forbert was his cousin.[2] He was married to the actress Nora Ney.

Following the Invasion of Poland in 1939 his career in the country ended. He worked as a filmmaker for the Polish Armed Forces in the West during the Italian campaign. Later in the decade he worked in Argentina and Brazil, before he later emigrated to Israel. He was one of a large number of filmmakers from pre-war Poland to flee into exile.[3]
