Harry Dean Stanton (born July 14, 1926 in West Irvine, Kentucky, USA) is an American character actor.

He is a favorite of film critic Roger Ebert who has said that "no movie featuring either Harry Dean Stanton or M. Emmet Walsh in a supporting role can be altogether bad." Although, Ebert later admitted that Dream a Little Dream (1989), in which Stanton appeared, was a "clear violation" of this rule. Stanton is a veteran of World War Two.

In the DVD extra interview of Repo Man Harry Dean deeply reviews his outlook on life in a way that is considered "Tao".
