Friedrich Gorenstein (Фридрих Наумович Горенштейн, tr. Fridrikh Naumovich Gorenshteyn; 18 March 1932 – 2 March 2002) was a Ukrainian Jewish author and screenwriter.

His works primarily deal with Stalinism, anti-Semitism, and the philosophical-religious view of a peaceful coexistence between Jews and Christians.

During the Stalinist repressions, his father was arrested in 1935 and sent to GULAG.

1937

His work The House with the Tower has existentialist themes in the style of Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, and Jean-Paul Sartre.

Other works move away from existentialism and incorporate religious themes, particularly Judaism.

One example is Berdychev, which recounts the life of a Jew in the pre-WWII Ukraine.
