Donald Sharp (born 19 April 1922, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia) is a British film director.
His most famous films were made for Hammer Studios in the sixties, and included Kiss of the Vampire (1962)and Rasputin, the Mad Monk (1965). Also in '65 he directed The Face of Fu Manchu, based on the character created by Sax Rohmer, here played by Christopher Lee. It is probably his finest and best-loved film.
