Louis Le Prince

Louis Aimé Augustin Le Prince (28 Agustus 1841 – menghilang 16 September 1890) adalah seorang penemu asal Prancis yang menembakkan gambar bergerak pertama pada kertas film menggunakan kamera lensa tunggal. Dia telah dikenal sebagai "Bapak Sinematografi" sejak tahun 1930.

Seorang asal Prancis yang juga bekerja di Inggris dan Amerika Serikat, Le Prince melakukan terobosan karyanya pada tahun 1888 di kota Leeds, West Yorkshire, Inggris.

Pada Oktober 1888, Le Prince memfilmkan urutan gambar yang bergerak Roundhay Garden Scene dan suasana jalanan di Leeds Bridge menggunakan kamera lensa tunggalnya dan kertas film Eastman. Ini adalah beberapa tahun sebelum karya penemu seperti Auguste and Louis Lumière dan Thomas Edison bersaing.
