Stuart Croft (1970, Leeds, England) is an artist / filmmaker. He attended Chelsea College of Art in London, graduating with an MA in 1998. His work has since been shown widely in the United Kingdom, Europe and the United States.

Croft writes and directs dialogue-based, character-driven films that are shown in art galleries, as installations or single-screen projections. As such his work asks what the possibilities are for co-opting the languages of cinema and dominant narrative into the contemporary art space.

Croft's work has been reviewed by Time Out London, The Guardian, Artforum, i-D, Art Monthly, Metro, Kultureflash, Contemporary and many others. Various institutions have held retrospective screenings of his work including FACT, Liverpool, the Galleria Civica di Modena, Italy and MuKHA_Media, Antwerp. He is currently a tutor at the Royal College of Art in London.
