Cyril Chamberlain (8 March 1909 – 5 December 1974) was an English film and television actor.[1] He appeared in a number of the early Carry On, Doctor and St. Trinian's films.[2]

Chamberlain was born on 8 March 1909 in London and died in Builth Wells in Wales on 5 December 1974 aged 65. He spent his final five years in retirement restoring antique furniture.[3]

He was married to actress Lisa Lee and they had one child.[3]

He appeared in 139 films between 1938 and 1966.

His first film appearance was in the 1939 Will Hay comedy film Ask a Policeman; his role was uncredited.[4] His film roles were often quite small. However, he did have notable parts, with third and fourth billing respectively, as the main villain in both the crime drama The Embezzler (1954) and the crime thriller Tiger by the Tail (1954).
