Stunt People is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Lois Siegel and released in 1989.[1] The film profiles the Fourniers, a family of Canadian stunt performers, through a blend of interview segments and clips of their performances in films.[1]

Siegel had previously made a shorter three-minute film, Stunt Family, about the Fourniers for the National Film Board of Canada's Canada Vignettes series in 1979.[2]

The film was the winner of the Genie Award for Best Short Documentary at the 11th Genie Awards in 1990,[3]
