Phillip Noyce (born 29 April 1950) is an Australian film director.
After his debut feature, the medium-length Backroads (1977), Noyce achieved commercial and critical success with Newsfront (1978), which won Australian Film Institute (AFI) awards for Best Film, Director, and Screenplay.
Noyce worked on two miniseries for Australian television with fellow Australian filmmaker George Miller: The Dismissal (1983) and The Cowra Breakout (1984).
Miller also produced the film that brought Noyce his greatest acclaim in the United States — the thriller Dead Calm (1989) which turned Nicole Kidman into a star. His greatest commercial success to date has been the Tom Clancy spy thriller Clear and Present Danger (1994) starring Harrison Ford.
After 1998's The Bone Collector, Noyce decided to take a break from Hollywood. He made in his native Australia the "stolen generation" picture Rabbit-Proof Fence, which achieved great acclaim and won the Australian Film Institute Award for Best Film in 2002. Noyce also achieved great acclaim in the United States for The Quiet American, a 2002 film which gave Michael Caine an Academy Award Best Actor nomination. After doing Catch a Fire (2006) in South Africa, Noyce decided to make another big budget studio film with 2010's Salt.
He was married to film producer Jan Chapman from 1971–1977, then producer Jan Sharp from 1979 - 2004 with whom he has two children, and he is presently married to Vuyo Dyasi with whom he has one child.
He has described Rabbit-Proof Fence as "easily" his proudest moment as a director: "Showing that film to various Aboriginal communities around the country and seeing their response, because it gave validity to the experiences of the stolen generations."
Noyce was also responsible for a video which formed part of the Australian bid to host the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
Noyce was an avid supporter of the Whitlam Labor Government
