Catherine Hardwicke is an American film director, production designer, and screenwriter. Her works include the Academy Award-nominated independent film Thirteen, which she co-wrote with Nikki Reed, The Nativity Story, Twilight, Red Riding Hood, Miss You Already, Miss Bala and Lords of Dogtown.

Hardwicke trained as an architect at the University of Texas, and started in film as a production designer. She designed over 20 films, including Tombstone, Tank Girl, Three Kings and Vanilla Sky. Hardwicke’s debut as a feature film co-writer and director was the Sundance Award-winning Thirteen. Made for under $2 million dollars, it garnered an Academy Award nomination for actress Holly Hunter.

Hardwicke is best known for having directed Twilight, the first film adaptation of Stephenie Meyer's best-selling "Twilight" book series.
