Max Rockatansky is the title character and antihero protagonist of the Australian post-apocalyptic action film series Mad Max created by director George Miller and producer Byron Kennedy. Max was played by actors Mel Gibson in the first three films from 1979 to 1985, Tom Hardy in the fourth film in 2015, and in a cameo appearance by Jacob Tomuri in the prequel spin-off film Furiosa in 2024. The character is also present in two Mad Max video games.

According to film critic Justin Chang, Miller (a doctor by training) picked Max's last name as an homage to Carl von Rokitansky. The character is ranked as popular character on various lists and has inspired characters in other films.
