Chris Clough (born 9th March 1951) was the most prolific director of seasons 23 - 25 of Doctor Who, helming Terror of the Vervoids, The Ultimate Foe, Delta and the Bannermen, Dragonfire, The Happiness Patrol and Silver Nemesis.

After Doctor Who, he directed a substantial number of episodes of ], a bit of [[wikipedia:Ballykissangel|Ballykissangel and a 2007 episode of Skins.

However, Clough was mainly a producer after Doctor Who, and his post-Silver Nemesis directing was mostly on shows on which he was, or would become, a producer. He was producer of The Bill for two seasons between 1995-97. He became a producer on Ballykissangel for the two series which followed the departure of Dervla Kirwan. He left the hit Irish dramedy in 1999 to produce Black Cab, a series of short films with only a black taxicab in common. Each film had its own cast, but Clough would have worked with then-future Doctor Who guest stars, Phil Davis, Marc Warren and Phil Cornwell. Around this time, Clough succeeded Phil Collinson as producer of Chris Chibnall's rural dramedy, Born and Bred, starring Clive Swift, Tracey Childs and Jenna Russell.
