Tom Milne (2 April 1926 – 14 December 2005) was a British film critic.[1][2]

After war service, he studied English and French at Aberdeen University and later at the Sorbonne. Interested in the theatre too, he wrote for the magazine Encore,[2] which existed for a decade (1954 to 1965).

Milne wrote for Sight & Sound, the Monthly Film Bulletin, The Observer and The Times during his career. During the 1960s he was associate editor of Sight & Sound and editor of the Monthly Film Bulletin. His book length studies of film directors include monographs on Joseph Losey (1968) and Rouben Mamoulian (1969) in the Thames & Hudson Cinema One series, the former comprising a series of extended interviews with the director.[3][4] He also wrote a short study on the Danish director Carl Theodor Dreyer (1971) and edited and translated an anthology of interviews and writings on Jean-Luc Godard (1972).[5][6]

In addition, Tom Milne oversaw the translation and subtitling of French films for television screenings.[2] He was the founding editor of the Time Out Film Guide, which went through nineteen editions from 1989 through 2010.[7][8]
