Don Hertzfeldt (born August 1, 1976) is an Academy Award-nominated American animator and independent filmmaker. He animated, wrote, directed, produced, and partially voiced the surreal and futuristic two minute couch gag for the season premiere of Season 26, "Clown in the Dumps."

It is the longest couch gag to date and was described by Spin Magazine as "mind-melting," and "two of the strangest minutes of television ever to air on a major network during prime time."

Some of his other animated work includes the films "It's Such a Beautiful Day," "World of Tomorrow," and "Rejected."
