Rex Tucker (born 20 February 1913 in March Isle of Ely) was a British television director in the 1950s and 1960s.
Amongst his work, he was a driving force during the formative stages of Doctor Who in 1963, acting as a caretaker producer prior to the arrival of Verity Lambert. Tucker was also the director originally assigned to the first serial, 100,000 BC, and later it had been planned that Tucker would direct more the programme's introductory season. However, he these commitments did not work out, and ultimately he directed only The Gunfighters in 1966. During the last episode,The O.K. Corral, a dispute arose between Tucker and then producer Innes Lloyd over the editing of the episode, leading to Tucker requesting that his credit be excised.
Rex Tucker died on August 10, 1996.
