Sidney M. Goldin (1880-September 19, 1937) was an American silent film director who, as one of the earliest independent filmakers during the early 20th century, was also a major writer, actor and producer for Yiddish theater. Although directing films in Russia, Austria (at the beginning of the 20s he worked for Listo-Film, Vienna, where he made for example East and West) and Eastern Europe for much of his early career, he was brought to Hollywood in 1926 where he produced Yiskor with Maurice Schwartz before becoming a director for independent producers during 1927. However, while under contract for A-B Studios, his film On the Mountains was considered a commercial and artistic failure nearly resulting in the bankruptcy of the studio.

After filming East Side Sadie in 1929, he returned back east to produce Yiddish "talkies" until the 1930s. Shortly after directing his last film, The Cantor's Son, he died in New York City, New York on September 19, 1937 after a three-year absence from filmaking.
