Emilio Cecchi (14 July 1884 – 5 September 1966) was an Italian literary critic, art critic and screenwriter.[1][2][3] One English language source describes him as "an 'official' - although radically anti-academic - intellectual".[4]

He was made artistic director at Cines Studios, Italy's leading film company, in 1931, remaining in the post for slightly more than a year. He also directed two short documentaries in the late 1940s.[2][5]
