Tudor Gates (2 January 1930 – 11 January 2007) was an English screenwriter, playwright and trade uniontist.
Gates was involved in stage management by the early 1950s and began scriptwriting in his spare time. After The Guv'nor was broadcast on television in 1956, he took to writing full-time. He wrote, co-wrote or worked on the screenplays for Barbarella (1968), Danger: Diabolik (1968), The Vampire Lovers (1970), Fright (1971), Lust for a Vampire (1971), Twins of Evil (1971), The Love Box (1972), The Optimists of Nine Elms (1973), The Sex Thief (1973) and Intimate Games (1976). He also wrote for several TV series, including The Sweeney and The Avengers.
In the 1966 general election, Gates stood as the Liberal Party candidate in Bethnal Green, and in 1970 he stood in the Isle of Thanet, placing a distant third on both occasions. In February 1974, he came second in Bethnal Green and Bow, losing votes but again coming second in October.
