John Hubley (May 21, 1914 – February 21, 1977) was an American animator and animation director known for both his formal experimentation and for his emotional realism which stemmed from his tendency to cast his own children as voice actors in his films.

Father of Mark Hubley, Emily Hubley, Georgia Hubley, and Ray Hubley.

Hired to be the original director of the legendary animated film Watership Down (1978). However, after a year of work, and little to show, the producer Martin Rosen fired him and took the reins himself. The opening sequence is all that remains of Hubley's work, and has his unique style present - something that is different from the rest of the film.

Was to have filmed "Finian's Rainbow" as an animated feature in 1955. Voice and music recording was completed, under musical director Lyn Murray, with a voice cast that included Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Ella Fitzgerald, Ella Logan (from the original Broadway cast), and Barry Fitzgerald. Unfortunately, shortly after this was done, funding ran out and the film was never completed.
