John Halliday (September 14 1880 - October 17 1947) was an American actor of stage and screen, who often played suave aristocrats and foreigners.

Despite his origins in Brooklyn, he often took on a British accent in his portrayals. Making his Broadway debut in 1912 in Cecil Raleigh and Henry Hamilton's The Whip, he became a familiar presence there, especially in sophisticated comedies such as W. Somerset Maugham's The Circle (1921), Vincent Lawrence's Sour Grapes (1926), and S. N. Behrman's Rain from Heaven (1934).

His best-known movie appearance today is as Seth Lord in the film adaptation of Philip Barry's The Philadelphia Story (1940).
