Rafael Gil (22 May 1913 – 10 July 1986) was a Spanish film director and screenwriter.

His film La noche del sábado (1950) was nominated for the Gold Lion at the 1950 Venice Film Festival and his film El beso de Judas (1954) was also nominated for the Gold Lion at the 1954 festival in Venice.

He has won nine prizes of the National Syndicate of Spectacle of Spain.

Gil was a prominent director of the Franco era.

His later works, often in collaboration with the Pro-Franco screenwriter and novelist Fernando Vizcaíno Casas, looked back nostalgically to the years of Franco's rule.
