A Silent Witness is a 1912 Australian silent film directed by Franklyn Barrett.[3] It is considered a lost film. It was a drama set in Sydney with Cyril Mackay as the hero.[4]

Barrett later claimed this detective drama was the first production in which he had a "free hand".[5]

Barrett referred later to making a film for Wests which dealt with opium smuggling and caused issues with the police. It may have been this movie.[6]

Of Sydney Stirling, Barrett wrote "I never knew an actor so responsive to direction, so keen to size up a situation and command it.” [7]
