Vernon Campbell Sewell (4 July 1903 – 21 June 2001) was a British film director, writer, producer and, briefly, an actor.[1][2]

Sewell was born in London, England,[3] and was educated at Marlborough College.[1] He directed more than 30 films during his career, starting with Morgenrot (1933) and ending with Burke & Hare (1971).[3] He worked chiefly in B-movies, some of which were, according to the BFI Screenonline, "well above the usual cut-price standards of film-making at this level."[1]

He was married to the actress Joan Carol.[1] Vernon Sewell died on 21 June 2001 in Durban, South Africa, at age 97.[4]
