Jānis Streičs (born 26 September 1936) is a Latvian film director. Streičs' 1991 comedy film Cilvēka bērns ("The Child of Man") was runner-up for the Chicago International Children's Film Festival Rights of the Child Award in 1994. It had previously been Latvia's submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 65th Academy Awards, but did not make the short list.
In 1978 Teātris, in 1981 Limuzīns Jāņu nakts krāsā and in 1991 Cilvēka bērns received the Latvian Film Prize as the best film of the year.[1]
