Occupation(s)Director, Producer
Years active1950–1987

Bugata Venkata Subba Rao, better known as B. A. Subba Rao (died 1987), was an Indian film director and producer who predominantly worked in Telugu cinema. He is recipient of Raghupathi Venkaiah Award for his lifetime contribution to Telugu cinema.

He started his career in 1950 with Palletoori Pilla as writer, director and producer. He gave N. T. Rama Rao the first chance as a lead actor in this film.[1][2] It was a minor commercial hit and both Subba Rao and Rama Rao gained a good reputation from it. He produced and directed Raju Peda in 1954 with Rama Rao in the lead role, based on the 1881 Mark Twain novel The Prince and the Pauper.[3] He also produced some films like Chenchu Lakshmi (1958), and Bhishma (1962) under the banner of B. A. S. Productions.

When N. T. Rama Rao became the Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh, he made Subba Rao the Chairman of the AP Film Development Corporation.[4]
