James L. Neibaur is an American film historian and author.

His most noted book is The Jerry Lewis Films: An Analytical Filmography of the Innovative Comic (with Ted Okuda 1994).[1] Lewis granted the authors extensive in-depth interviews, allowing them to include the comedian's own thoughts about each one of his films, along with their assessment.

Neibaur's other books on film subjects include Arbuckle and Keaton: Their 14 Film Collaborations,[2] The RKO Features,[3] and The Bob Hope Films (2004).[4] His most recently completed work is on Charlie Chaplin's Essanay era.

Neibaur has written over 40 essays for the Encyclopædia Britannica on film-related subjects including Catherine Deneuve, the Three Stooges, and film noir. He has also contributed to Film Quarterly, Cineaste, and the Rogue Cinema and Senses of Cinema websites [5] [6], as well as an essay on midwest film production for the Encyclopedia of the Midwest.
