Pim de la Parra (born 5 January 1940) is a Surinamese-Dutch film director.

De la Parra was born in Paramaribo and is partly of Portuguese-Jewish descent.^[1] He was educated at the Netherlands Film Academy.^[2] He became an editoral board member of the film magazine Skoop from 1963 which had been established by other students of the Academy.^[2] Between 1967 and 1976, he directed films under the independent production company Scorpio Films with Dutch film director Wim Verstappen, who manages all of its achievements.

After a few short films, he began his career as an international director with Obsessions (1969), co-written by Martin Scorsese.^[3] He co-produced Blue Movie (1971) by Wim Verstappen, which was one of the most erotic movies of its time, showing nudity with a realism that confounded critics and censorship authorities. It was followed by Frank en Eva (1973), Alicia (1974), Dakota (1975) and Mijn Nachten met Susan, Olga, Albert, Julie, Piet & Sandra (1975), these four films forming an erotic tetralogy written with Charles Gormley. In 1976, he directed Wan Pipel, the first film shot entirely with actors from Suriname.^[4]

Pim de la Parra has two daughters: the actress Bodil de la Parra [nl] (b.1963) and the comedian Nina de la Parra [nl] (b. 1987). His son, Pimm Jal de la Parra (b. 1966) died in 2002.^[5]
