Leon Ernest "Schucks" Schuster (born 21 May 1951, Vereeniging) is a South African filmmaker, comedian, actor, prankster and singer.

His candid-camera feature You Must Be Joking! (1986) began a long run of hidden-camera and slapstick comedies, including Oh Schucks...! Here Comes U.N.T.A.G., There's a Zulu on My Stoep and Mr Bones (2001), his most successful film. He also recorded a string of best-selling Afrikaans and rugby albums.
