Hydrocyclone separator for separating liquids of different densities such as oil and water. The separator has an axially elongated chamber, a feed inlet for introducing liquid into the chamber at high velocity in a tangential directionso that the liquid rotates about the axis of the chamber, an overflow outlet for removing the less dense liquid from the chamber, and an underflow outlet for removing the more dense liquid from the chamber. A turbulence shield is positioned between the feed inlet and the axially disposed outlet for isolating the overflow outlet from the effects of turbulence produced by the liquid entering the chamber.
