Phantom from Space is a 1953 independently made American black-and-white science fiction film produced and directed by W. Lee Wilder and starring Ted Cooper, Noreen Nash, Dick Sands, and Burt Wenland.

Working with most of the same crew, this was one of several early 1950s films made by Wilder and son Myles on a financing-for-distribution basis with United Artists and, on occasion, RKO Radio Pictures.

[citation needed] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The idea of a human form with a silicon base instead of carbon could be an interesting one, but this science-fiction thriller is remarkably lacking in tension.

The poor creature from another world is treated very badly by a section of the police, the air force and a scientist, who ridiculously expect a form of life from another planet to be modelled in the same way as man, invisible or otherwise.
