Arnold Pressburger (27 August 1885 – 17 February 1951) was an Austrian Jewish film producer who produced 79 films between 1913 and 1951. Pressburger was born in Preßburg, Austria-Hungary (now Bratislava, Slovakia) and died in Hamburg, Germany from a stroke.
In 1932 he set up the production company Cine-Allianz with Gregor Rabinovitch. The company enjoyed commercial success, but was subsequently expropriated from them by the Nazi government of Germany as part of the anti-Jewish policy.
