Sidney Gilliat (15 February 1908 – 31 May 1994) was a British film director, producer and writer.
He was the son of George Gilliat, Editor of the Evening Standard, born in the district of Edgeley in Stockport, Cheshire. In the 1930s he worked as a scriptwriter, most notably with Frank Launder on The Lady Vanishes (1938) for Alfred Hitchcock, and its sequel Night Train to Munich (1940), directed by Carol Reed. He and Launder made their directorial debut co-directing the home front drama Millions Like Us (1943). From 1945 he also worked as a producer, starting with The Rake's Progress, which he also wrote and directed. He and Launder made over 40 films together, founding their own production company Individual Pictures. While Launder concentrated on directing their comedies, most famously the four St Trinian's School films, Gilliat showed a preference for comedy-thrillers and dramas, including Green for Danger (1946), London Belongs to Me (1948) and State Secret (1950).
He wrote the libretto for Malcolm Williamson's opera Our Man in Havana, based on the novel by Graham Greene. He had also worked on the film.

Short of selling state secrets to the Hun, there are few crimes more treacherous than buying meat on the black market if this stern reprimand to wartime housewives is to be believed. After 'preying on the body of a community at war', greedy Mrs. Wilson (Irene Handl at her dour best) gets a shock when she visits her local cinema. This very funny film was made by Frank Launder and Sidney Gilliat, who wrote (and occasionally directed) many classic British films, including Hitchcock's 'The Lady Vanishes', 'The Belles of St. Trinian's' and 'Millions Like Us'.
