'''Harry Locke''' (10 December 1913 – 7 September 1987) was an English [[character actor]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2ba25acc76|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120804020551/http://explore.bfi.org.uk/4ce2ba25acc76|url-status=dead|archive-date=2012-08-04|title=Harry Locke|work=BFI}}</ref>

He was born and died in [[London]]. He married Joan Cowderoy in 1943 and Cordelia Sewell in 1952. He was a good friend of the poet [[Dylan Thomas]].
