Lou Yi-an (Chinese: 樓一安) is a Taiwanese film and television director. At the 41st Golden Bell Awards in 2006, he was named the Best Director in a Miniseries or Television Film.

Lou worked on the films Bundled (2000) and God Man Dog (2007) with director Singing Chen.[1][2] Lou and Chen were jointly nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the 44th Golden Horse Awards.[3] Several of Lou's films also include Chen's work, such as the short Waterfront Villa Bonita (2007) and Chen's first feature-length film A Place of One's Own [zh] (2009).[2][4] He was commissioned by the Hakka Television Service to make The Losers [zh]. Lou drew inspiration for the project from the Hakka band Labor Exchange, specifically the album Night March of the Chrysanthemums.[4] Whereas A Place of One's Own focused on poor people living in New Taipei City,[2] The Losers portrayed rural life in Meinong, Kaohsiung.[5][6] Due to The Losers heavy subject matter, Lou was advised not to theatrically release it.[4] As a result, the film was shown for one week at the Spot Huashan Cinema in Taipei.[4] In 2015, Waterfront Villa Bonita was shown at the Treasure Hill Film Festival in Taipei.[7] In April 2016, Lou traveled to London to attend a screening of The Losers at SOAS, University of London.[8] That same month, Lou released White Lies, Black Lies [zh], focusing on the psychological aftermath of murders committed in 1960s Wanhua District, Taipei.[9] In 2018, Lou directed a television drama on the life of writer Lu Ho-juo [zh], which was premiered on Hakka TV.[10]

During the 2016 legislative elections, Lou supported third force political alliances.[11]
