"The Lonedale Operator" is a 1911 short drama film directed by D. W. Griffith. A print of the film survives in the film archive of the Museum of Modern Art. cite web |url=http://www.silentera.com/PSFL/data/L/LonedaleOperator1911.html |title=Silent Era: The Lonedale Operator |accessdate=2008-07-05|work=silentera]

Among other things, the film is significant for Griffith's use of a close-up of a wrench, which a character had pretended was a gun. At the time of the film's release, close-ups were still uncommon. "The Lonedale Operator" illustrates Griffith's growing mastery of the medium.
