Waris Hussein (born December 9, 1938 in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh, India) is a British-Indian television director, best known for his many productions for British television. He moved to the UK with his parents at the age of nine.
He is particularly remembered for having directed the first ever Doctor Who serial, 100,000 BC, in 1963. In 1964 he returned to the series to direct the fourth serial, Marco Polo. He went on to enjoy a highly successful career directing many prestigious productions such as a 1965 BBC television version of A Passage to India, suffragette movement drama Shoulder to Shoulder (BBC, 1974) and the Thames Television serial Edward and Mrs Simpson (1978). The latter two productions saw him working once more with former Doctor Who producer Verity Lambert.
