Colley Cibber byl anglický divadelní autor, herec a divadelní ředitel. Jeho paměti „Apology for the Life of Colley Cibber“ jsou psány osobním, anekdotickým a poněkud zmateným stylem. Napsal přes dvacet her pro svou divadelní společnost, z nichž mnohé adaptoval z jiných zdrojů. Ačkoliv ho současníci kritizovali za jeho adaptace a některé jeho inscenace, jeho význam spočívá v tom, že byl jedním z prvních divadelních ředitelů a herců v britských dějinách. Jeho autobiografie má navíc hodnotu jako historický pramen. Cibberova poezie byla ve své době odsuzována, ale jeho divadelní práce a autobiografie zanechaly stopu v historii britského divadla.
