Romaine Fielding (born William Grant Blandin; May 22, 1867 – December 15, 1927) was an American actor, screenwriter, and silent film director known for his dramatic westerns.

He prospected for gold in Alaska, where he made friends with Jack London and Rex Beach, both of whom would influence his work in films.

[3] Fielding worked for the Solax Film Company of New York before joining Philadelphia-based Lubin Studios in November 1911 at the age of 44.

[2] From there he took his company to Silver City, New Mexico, where he rented two houses and built an outdoor stage for shooting interior scenes.

His five-reel thriller The Golden God employed about 5,000 local extras and featured a cavalry and artillery charge through the streets of the old town.

[13] Fielding's career was interrupted by his military service during World War I, when he served as a lieutenant colonel in the United States Army's Intelligence Department.

Missouri's State Finance Department revoked the company's permit to sell stock in 1924, charging that the business had "degenerated into a mere stock-seling proposition.

[citation needed] His third marriage, in 1918, was to actress Joan Arliss (real name: Naomi Sachs), with whom he remained until his death; the union producing three children.

Following the demise of Lubin Studios in 1917, Romaine Fielding was out of filmmaking until 1920 after which he continued to work in film until his death in Hollywood at age 60 from a blood clot.
