Osmond H. Borradaile (17 July, 1898 – 23 March, 1999) was a Canadian cameraman, cinematographer and veteran of First and Second World War.
Osmond Borradaile grew up in Alberta, moving often during his childhood. While living in Medicine Hat, he saw one of his first movies when he was seven years old.
Borradaile's speciality was filming natural environments to serve as backdrops and stock footage. Much of this footage was taken in Africa, where he met and filmed the rituals and daily lives of several tribes. He also was on the crew for the films of Sabu, including Elephant Boy and The Drum.
In the late 1940s, Borradaile travelled to Antarctica to file sequences for Scott of the Antarctic, one of the most ambitious film projects for the time period.
In 1982, he was made an Officer of the Order of Canada, Canada's highest civilian honor.
He died at age 100.
