Julian Mitchell (November 1852 – June 23, 1926) was an American theatre director and choreographer. Known as one of Broadway's most prolific directors, he directed more than eighty musicals between 1884 and 1926. His best remembered show may be The Wizard of Oz (1902). Mitchell had never danced when Weber and Fields hired him to be their director. He was noted for making improvements to numbers without the request of his producer.Mitchell returned to performing on stage in Ziegfeld's Follies of 1910, dancing in the "A Fool There Was" sketch with Louise Alexander.
