Frederick William (Freddie) Francis BSC (22 December 1917 – 17 March 2007) was an English cinematographer and film director. He achieved his greatest successes in the former, including winning two Academy Awards, for Sons and Lovers (1960) and Glory (1989). As a director, he has cult status on account of his association with the British production companies Amicus and Hammer in the 1960s and 1970s.

El autor de uno de los capítulos más brillantes del terror psicológico (El alucinante mundo de los Ashby (1963), El abismo del miedo (1963) e Hysteria (1965)) estudió Ingeniería antes de emplearse en la British Gaumont. Fue el operador fundamental del free cinema. Con la Hammer contribuyó a la serie de Frankenstein, con The Evil of Frankenstein (1964) y a la del vampiro, con Drácula vuelve de la tumba (1968). Pero su verdadero interés era la fotografía, a la que volvió en 1980 con El hombre elefante.
