William H. Clifford (died October 9, 1938)[1][2] was a writer, director, and film company head during the silent film era. He was a production manager for Monogram Film Company.[3] He worked for Marcus Loew and Thomas Ince.[4]

He was born in Washington, D.C., and wrote vaudeville sketches before linking up with film producer Thomas Ince.[4] Clifford wrote stories for the Famous Players studio before coming to California. He organized his own studio in 1917.[5]

Victor Kremer managed his W. H. Clifford Photoplay Company film production business. It produced several Shorty Hamilton westerns and planned to produce more.[6] It was located in Los Angeles.[7]
