Don Murphy is an American film producer best known for Natural Born Killers.

His then-partner, Jane Hamsher, wrote a book about their turbulent process making that film called Killer Instinct. In 1997, Quentin Tarantino, who was upset by remarks attributed to Murphy in Killer Instinct, assaulted Murphy at a Hollywood restaurant.
