Jeremy Francis Gilley (born 1969) is an English actor, filmmaker and founder of the nonprofit organisation Peace One Day.

Born in 1969, Gilley spent his early years in Southampton, Hampshire. Gilley was educated at St Mary's College, Southampton and Millfield, a boarding independent school in the village of Street in Somerset. He joined the Royal Shakespeare Company at the age of 17.

Peace One Day (2004). Gilley directed and produced his first feature length documentary, telling the story of his attempts to persuade the global community via the United Nations to sanction officially a day without conflict; a ceasefire day; a global day of Peace. In 2004, the Peace One Day documentary premiered at the Edinburgh Film Festival, and the BBC aired the documentary in September of the same year. In 2005, Angelina Jolie and Jonny Lee Miller hosted the film's North American premiere to highlight Peace Day. The Day After Peace (2008). Gilley directed and produced his second feature length documentary, The Day After Peace, in association with the BBC. The film documents polio vaccinations on 21 September 2007 in Afghanistan. Peace One Day Part 3. Gilley's third feature length documentary continuing the story of Peace Day, making it a day of peace that is self sustaining around the world. Since 2019, Gilley has directed and produced films for Avon, telling stories of gender based violence survivors.

In 1994, following a decade of professional acting, Gilley started a film making company, P. U. R. E. Productions. In 1999, he set out to document his efforts to create an annual Peace Day. To this end he founded the non profit organisation Peace One Day. In September 2001 as a result of Gilley's efforts, a General Assembly resolution was unanimously adopted by UN member states, establishing 21 September as an annual day of global ceasefire and non violence on the UN International Day of Peace – Peace Day. In 2007, Gilley and Peace One Day Ambassador Jude Law travelled to Jalalabad and Kabul to meet with representatives from the United Nations, the Afghan government, and other organisations. They initiated a campaign alongside WHO, UNICEF, and the Ministry of Public Health, which resulted in providing 1.4 million children with the monovalent P3 polio vaccine in southern Afghanistan and selected areas in eastern Afghanistan. In 2008 there was a 70 per cent drop in violent incidents on Peace Day in Afghanistan following pledges by President Hamid Karzai and UN forces for a day of non violence, and by 2010 the campaign had resulted in the immunisation against polio of 4.5 million children in areas hitherto unreachable due to conflict. Since then, Gilley has been working to institutionalise Peace Day, 21 September across the world with Peace One Day.
