Raymond Walburn (September 9, 1887 – July 26, 1969) was an American character actor of stage and screen who appeared in dozens of Hollywood movie comedies and an occasional dramatic role during the 1930s and 1940s.

Stalwart character Raymond Walburn is one of those actors whose name may have slipped through memory over time, although whose valued contribution to 1930s - 1940s comedy films certainly warrants a reminder. He was the archetypal bombastic bumbler or supercilious stuffed shirt with the trademark bulging eyes, snub nose, arched brows and trimmed mustache.

He provided his patented brand of cheeky humor in nearly 100 "A" and "B" films during his career span.
