Basil Wright, (June 12, 1907, Sutton, Surrey - 14 October, 1987, Frieth, Buckinghamshire, England), was an English documentary film-maker, film historian, film critic and teacher. He was a key figure in the British documentary film movement and the first recruit to join John Grierson at the Empire Marketing Board's film unit early in 1930. Wright's 1934 film Song of Ceylon is his best known work, although he also received a joint directorial credit with Harry Watt for the GPO Film Unit's Night Mail (1936).
