Troy Nixey (born in Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada) is a Canadian comic book artist and film director. Nixey has written and illustrated for comic books such as Neil Gaiman's Only the End of the World Again, Harley Quinn, and The Matrix Comics. After submitting his 2007 short Latchkey's Lament to filmmaker Guillermo del Toro looking for guidance and feedback, Nixey received an offer to direct his first full-length film, Don't Be Afraid of the Dark, a remake of a 1973 ABC made-for-television horror film that originally starred Kim Darby. The 2011 version starred Guy Pearce, Katie Holmes, and Bailee Madison.
