Orme Caldara (born Frank Slocum;[1] February 9, 1875 – October 21, 1925)[2][3][4] was an American stage actor. He was married to actress Julia Dean from 1906 to 1913. Caldara appeared in one movie, The Spreading Dawn with Jane Cowl. He often appeared with Cowl in the theatre co-starring with her in several influential Broadway plays, including Within the Law (1912–1913), Common Clay (1915–1916), Lilac Time (1917), and Smilin' Through (1919–1920).

Caldara contracted tuberculosis in the early 1920s, and his ailing health forced him to retire from his stage career. He died of the disease in a sanatorium in Saranac Lake, New York, in 1925.
