Bill Day is an American documentary filmmaker who graduated from the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television and who has been employed by both the National Geographic Channel and Discovery Channel. For CNN, he produced a documentary film which took the Osa Peninsula as its theme.

Day directed the documentary Saviors of the Forest which was shown at the Sundance Film Festival. He also directed Rubber Jungle, a behind the scenes look at the life of Brazilian labor leader Chico Mendes and the movie about his life. In 2002, Day co-produced the musical documentary Under The Covers followed by Alternative Rock and Roll Years in 2003 for Discovery Channel. Day served as a field producer for Hopkins 24/7, a television documentary series. With Carlo Gennarelli, he co-produced Ordinary Joe, a documentary film about Joe Sciacca, a Vietnam veteran from New York City. Day made a film about XXXchurch.com called Missionary Positions. He also produced and directed The Pussycat Preacher, a film about Heather Veitch and her organization, JC's Girls. He said that JC's Girls are like Charlie's Angels, but in real life, and that members of the organization are "fighting false glamour with real spiritual beauty."

He dated Marcheline Bertrand for a time, and helped her raise Angelina Jolie and James Haven, both of whom had been born to Bertrand while she was married to Jon Voight. Day and Bertrand eventually broke up and Bertrand told the children that Day had been unfaithful to her.
