Lacey Percival (11 February 1885 - 7 August 1968) was an Australian cinematographer who worked on many early Australian silent films. He worked for the Australian Photo-Play Company then joined West's Pictures. When that company merged with Australasian Films he ran their weekly newsreel, Australasian Gazette until 1925.

Two years later he went to work for Automatic Film Laboratories, then in 1935 established Percival Film Laboratories which he ran until his retirement in 1948.
