Don Brodie (May 29, 1904, Cincinnati, Ohio – January 8, 2001, Los Angeles, California) was an American actor and director.

A veteran of more than 250 film and television productions, Brodie appeared as a callow, mustachioed actor in a variety of utility roles in films from the early 1930s. Usually playing bit parts in features, his more notable credits include his voiceover work in the Disney cartoon feature Dumbo and his portrayal of a careful used car lot owner in the film noir classic Detour. He also worked off and on as a dialogue director.

In 1944, he directed his sole movie, A Fig Leaf for Eve.
