Gene Fowler Jr. (27 May 1917 – 11 May 1998), the eldest son of journalist and author Gene Fowler, was a prominent Hollywood film editor. His work included films of Fritz Lang and Samuel Fuller and movies like Stanley Kramer's It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World (1963), John Cassavetes' A Child Is Waiting (1963) and Hang 'Em High (1968).

He was also the directoroffeature films as well as numerous television programs. While the majority of his directorial work is regarded as minor efforts (Leonard Maltin lists only three of his seven features in his compendium[1]), two of his films, I Was a Teenage Werewolf (1957) and I Married a Monster from Outer Space (1958), have gained some critical attention in retrospect.[2]

Gene Fowler Jr. was married to film editor Marjorie Fowler from 1944 until his death. On May 12, 1964, they were both the first man and woman to respectively get top honors at American Cinema Editors. Fowler became president while his wife became secretary.[3] He died in the Hollywood Hills, California of natural causes.[4][5]

His brother Will Fowler (1922–2004) was a Hollywood screenwriter.
