康斯坦丁·亚历山大·佩恩（Constantine Alexander Payne，1961年2月10日-），美国电影导演、编剧。他的电影以其黑色幽默和对当代美国社会的讽刺描绘而闻名。

佩恩获得了无数荣誉，包括两项奥斯卡金像奖、一项英国电影学院奖和三项金球奖以及一项格莱美奖提名。

在执导了几部短片后，佩恩以黑色喜剧《公民露丝》（1996 年）首次亮相。他的职业生涯随着政治讽刺片《选举》（1999 年）和喜剧《关于施密特》（2002 年）的提名而取得进展，并因此获得了奥斯卡最佳改编剧本奖的提名。佩恩因参与编剧《侧身》（2004 年）和《后裔》（2011 年）而两次获得奥斯卡最佳改编剧本奖。他还凭借这两部电影和公路片《内布拉斯加州》（2013 年）获得奥斯卡最佳导演奖提名。此后，他执导了《缩小规模》（2017 年）和年代电影《滞留者》（2023 年）。

在 2018 年接受罗南·法罗 （Ronan Farrow） 采访时，女演员罗斯·麦高恩 （Rose McGowan） 指控好莱坞一名“知名”男子犯有法定强奸罪，但她没有透露相关人员的名字。2020 年 8 月，麦高恩说是佩恩，他在 1988 年或 1989 年的某个时候犯下了这一行为，当时麦高恩 15 岁，佩恩大约 28 岁。

佩恩回应了麦高恩的指控，在Deadline Hollywood上写了一篇客座专栏，他承认与她有自愿的关系，但否认有任何不当行为，声称他们在1991年见过面，当时她已经超过了同意年龄，在加利福尼亚州是18岁。佩恩在声明的最后写道：“虽然我不能允许关于29年前事件的虚假陈述得不到纠正，但我将继续祝愿罗斯一切顺利”。
