Howard Bretherton (13 February 1890 – 12 April 1969) was an American film director and editor.
He began his career as a propman and then became a film editor during the early 1920s for MGM. He directed his first film, While London Sleeps, in 1926, and thereafter spent more than three decades working mostly as a film director. Of the roughly 100 pictures he directed, most of them were westerns and action/adventure films. The final film he directed was Night Raiders in 1952.[1] Afterwards, he occasionally worked as a director in television through 1958.
