Richard Wolstencroft (born 23 April 1969) is an Australian filmmaker.
Wolstencroft began making short films in the 1980s. He made his first feature Bloodlust in 1990. In 1992 he founded the Hellfire Club, an BDSM themed nightclub which operated in Melbourne and Sydney. In 1996 he began work on his second feature film Pearls Before Swine, a project which would take him three years to complete starring Boyd Rice. In 2000, the film was submitted to the Melbourne International Film Festival, but was not selected. In response, Wolstencroft founded the Melbourne Underground Film Festival, which, as of 2006, has remained an annual event.
