Rex Roy Cramphorn (sometimes identified by the variant Cramphorne) (10 January 1941 - 22 November 1991) was an Australian theatre director, costume designer, theatre critic, theorist and translator, active in the 1970s and 1980s. After he passed away in 1991 of AIDS related causes, a biennial $30,000 Rex Cramphorn Theatre Scholarship was established by the New South Wales Government and the Australian Film TV and Radio school. An annual series of Rex Cramphorn lectures - a memorial set up by his friends and colleagues - was begun in 1995, Jim Sharman giving the first lecture. A studio in the University of Sydney's Centre for Performance Studies was named in his honour, which is popularly known as "The Rex".
