Peter Glenville (born Peter Patrick Brabazon Browne; 28 October 1913 – 3 June 1996) was an English theatre and film director, and actor. He was a prominent director of stage plays on the West End and Broadway in the 1950's, where he was nominated for four Tony Awards, who later transitioned into films in the following decade. His first film, The Prisoner (1955), was nominated for Best Film and Best British Film at the 9th British Academy Film Awards. Glenville was nominated for a Best Director Oscar and a Golden Globe for the 1964 film adaptation of the Jean Anouilh play Becket, after first directing the stage version. Two of his other films, Summer and Smoke (1961) and Term of Trial (1962), were both nominated for the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion. Rupert Christiansen posthumously described him as a "forgotten giant of mid-20th-century directing." ()
