Gilbert P. Hamilton was an American film company executive and director. He worked at Essanay as a cinematographer, headed the St. Louis Motion Picture Company, and then launched the Albuquerque Motion Picture Company.[1]

Jack L. Warner described him as a tall sunburned Englishman with walrus mustache and thick accent "like a Kipling character".[2]

As a cinematographer, Hamilton collaborated with playwright and actor Lawrence Lee at Essanay in 1908.[3] His move away from St. Louis Motion Picture Company came after it acquired Frontier Pictures and relocated to Santa Paula, California. Dot Farley followed him to his new studio Albuquerque.[4]
