Kevin Francis is a British film and television producer.
Prior to working in film production, Francis had apprenticed in livestock working his way up to a slaughterman before becoming a livestock buyer. Francis' time working as a buyer gave him additional training in accounting and finance and when approached by someone who worked for a smaller film producer this led to Francis gaining experience as a producer including on a few films by Hammer Film Productions.
He has worked in the cinema as a production manager and producer and in television as a producer and executive producer. He founded the production company Tyburn Film Productions Limited, which Francis, as a horror fan, sought to make Tyburn a successor to Hammer Film Productions and Amicus Productions. . His father was cinematographer and film director Freddie Francis.
