Gilbert M. 'Broncho Billy' Anderson (born Maxwell Henry Aronson) was an American actor, director, writer and producer. He played multiple uncredited roles in Edwin S. Porter's *The Great Train Robbery* (1903) and subsequently wrote, directed and starred in his own films.

In 1907 Anderson co-founded Essanay Studios with George Kirke Spoor. He appeared in and directed hundreds of short films, most notably a series of 148 Westerns in which he played the character Broncho Billy.
