Hitchcock did not appear in his early British movies. It wasn't until his third movie, The Lodger, that he began making cameo appearances. Out of the movies in which he did have cameos, he technically did not appear in Lifeboat, Rope, Dial M for Murder and Family Plot. In Lifeboat, his cameo appearance was in a newspaper advertisement. In Rope, a neon sign of Hitchcock appeared outside the window. In Dial M for Murder, he appeared in a photograph. And in Family Plot, he appeared as a silhouette standing on the other side of a glass door.

Lifeboat (1944) was Hitchcock's cameo appearance.
A "cameo" is a piece of jewelry in the form of a carved silhouette. In the theater, the phrase "cameo appearance" was used to refer to a brief appearance in a play or movie, frequently where the actor is not playing any role. For example, Alfred Hitchcock appeared "in cameo" in most of his movies; frequently walking by as an anonymous face in the crowd, or boarding a bus in the background of the scene.
