Cheryl Dunye (born 1966) is a Liberian-American filmmaker, writer and actor, whose career began with Janine (1990), the first in a series of short films addressing themes of race, sexuality and gender. Her feature-length debut The Watermelon Woman (1996) is a groundbreaking exploration of the history of Black women and lesbians in film, and is also believed to be the first feature to be directed by an out Black lesbian. This was followed by the HBO television film Stranger Inside (2001), documenting the experiences of African-American lesbians in prison. Cheryl Dunye has lectured at several American universities, and continues to be a significant presence in film and television, not only in her specialist field but also as a sought-after director of mainstream episodic TV dramas including Lovecraft Country (2020), Bridgerton (2022) and The Equalizer (2022).

Other films include: My Baby’s Daddy (2004), The Owls (2010), Mommy is Coming (2012), Black is Blue (2014)
