Wilfred Noy (born Wilfred Noy Blumberg, 24 December 1883 – 29 March 1948[1]) was an English film director, actor, screenwriter and producer of the silent era. Noy was the maternal uncle of Leslie Howard.[2] He directed more than 80 films between 1910 and 1936. He also appeared in 18 films between 1924 and 1939.[3]

In 1925 he went to the United States to make The Lost Chord, a remake of one of his earlier British hits. He stayed to make several more films in America during the late 1920s[4] before returning to Britain. He was born in South Kensington, London and died in Worthing, Sussex.[5]
