Harry Philmore Langdon (15. jun 1884 – 22. decembar 1944) bio je američki glumac koji se, uz Chaplina, Keatona i Lloyda smatra jednim od četiri najveća filmska komičara nijeme ere 1920-ih. Karijeru je započeo kao dijete u vodvilju, a na film došao 1920-ih, gdje je, surađujući sa mladim Frankom Caprom stvorio lik dječački naivnog protagonista koji mu je donio ogromnu popularnost. Langdon se, međutim, nije najbolje prilagodio zvučnom filmu niti uspio do kraja isprofilirati vlastiti komičarski stil, te je pao u relativni zaborav. Ipak, do kraja života je nastupao u kratkim i niskobudžetnim filmovima ostvarivši za tadašnje prilike solidnu zaradu. Umro je od moždanog udara.
