Robert Edward Stevenson (31 March 1905 – 30 April 1986) was a British-American screenwriter and film director. After directing a number of British films, including King Solomon's Mines (1937), he was contracted by David O. Selznick and moved to Hollywood, but was loaned to other studios, directing Jane Eyre (1943). He directed 19 live-action films for The Walt Disney Company in the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s. A prolific filmmaker with a long, distinguished career, Stevenson is probably best remembered for directing the musical fantasy Mary Poppins (1964), for which Julie Andrews won the Academy Award for Best Actress and Stevenson was nominated for Best Director.
