Arantxa Aguirre Carballeira (born 1965) is a Spanish film director specialising in documentaries. She is also a scriptwriter. She is the daughter of noted Spanish film director Javier Aguirre and Spanish actress Enriqueta Carballeira.

Her best known film is perhaps Dancing Beethoven, which was nominated for the Goya Awards in 2017.[1] It is about the creation of a ballet to the music of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony.[2] The choreography is by Maurice Béjart. Aguirre had made an earlier film about Béjart's legacy called El esfuerzo y el ánimo ("Of Heart and Courage").[3]

In 2018 she released El amor y el muerte ("Love and Death").[4] This film about the composer Enrique Granados takes its title from a piece in his piano suite Goyescas. It features noted performers of the music such as Rosa Torres-Pardo and Evgeny Kissin.[5]
