Fritz Arno Wagner (5 December 1889 – 18 August 1958) was a German cinematographer. He is considered one of the most acclaimed cinematographers in Germany from the 1920s to the 1950s. He played a key role in the Expressionist film movement during the Weimar period and is perhaps best known for excelling "in the portrayal of horror," according to noted film critic Lotte H. Eisner.
