Corrado D'Errico (1902–1941) was an Italian screenwriter and film director. D'Errico was one of a number of directors in the Fascist era to graduate from the Istituto Luce.[1]

Corrando D’Errico came into the public eye at the end of the 1920s as a creator of experimental plays and city symphonies that employ a futurist and fascist mentality.[2] Throughout his career, D'Errico directed 11 feature-length films across the adventure, comedy, and neorealist drama genres. His work is a testament to the intersectionality of propaganda, spectacle, and entertainment. Beyond his work as a filmmaker, D’Errico was a journalist for a fascist newspaper and was well connected with many of the party's high profile officials. His party connections allowed him take a role within the State secretary of Press and Propaganda as a member of Mussolini’s press office.
