Wilbur McGaugh (March 12, 1895 – January 31, 1965)[1] was an American film actor of the silent era, appearing mostly in westerns.[2] He also directed five films. He also worked extensively as an assistant director in film and television.

McGaugh's career changed with the advent of sound films. Described as "sadly inept in front of the microphones", he began working off-camer and became an assistant director for films in the 1930s and 1940s.[1]
