Ray Austin on the Space: 1999 sets

Ray Austin (December 5, 1932—) is a British television director.

He started his career as a stunt man and stunt coordinator, but became gradually involved as a director for film and TV. Perhaps due to his background as a stuntman, his style of direction is often highly visual and physical with a lot of movement. He has excelled at influencing actors under his direction to perform at peak level.

His work as for TV includes episodes of The Avengers (on which he also performed stunts in many episodes), Space: 1999, The New Avengers, and V. He has also directed several television movies, including The Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E..

Austin directed the 1972 film Virgin Witch, which has a minor cult following.
