Sylvia Cummins Betts (born Sylvia K. Cummins, 1909–?) was an American film editor, primarily of documentary, educational, and industrial and sponsored films. She was one of the few women editors in this field from the 1940s through the 1970s and was responsible for editing dozens of films with non-theatrical releases. 
Betts was originally from England and had worked in the film industry there as an editor on both feature films and World War II newsreels. She directed, produced, and edited a number of short documentaries sponsored during and after the war effort and in involving Britain's colonies. She came to the US after World War II and settled in Georgia, where she worked as a staff editor at the Center for Communicable Disease Control. She later relocated to the Washington, D.C. area and performed editing work under the company name Cummins-Betts located in Glen Echo, Maryland.
Betts collaborated frequently with notable documentary director George Stoney as well as her husband, screenwriter Bill Betts. The collaborations with Stoney included a number of films on medical and public health topics, urbanization, social issues, the military, and religion.
