Walter Stradling (1875 – July 4, 1918) was an English-born American cinematographer of the silent era. He is best remembered for working on several well-known feature films of Mary Pickford and for the Famous Players–Lasky production company in general. He also worked on the films of Cecil B. DeMille, Sessue Hayakawa and Blanche Sweet. Stradling died relatively young at 43 in the 1918 flu pandemic. He was the uncle of the cinematographer Harry Stradling.Evelyn Mack Truitt, Who Was Who on Screen 3rd Edition, c.1983
