Leonard Kirtman (born May 10, 1939) is a retired pornographic director/producer. Born in Brooklyn, many of Kirtman's films were shot in the New York City area and distributed by similarly New York-based Distribpix. Kirtman was one of the first directors to prioritize production turnover in pornography, with as many as six productions being filmed concurrently during any shooting week in the late 1960s to mid-1970s. Kirtman retained the rights to the majority of his films through his production company Kirt Films, but had all rights transferred to Distribpix upon leaving the industry in the mid-to-late 1980s.
