Dee Lampton (October 6, 1898 – September 2, 1919) was an American film actor of the silent era. Lampton was born in Fort Worth, Texas, and died of appendicitis in Los Angeles on September 2, 1919.[1]

He appeared in 52 films between 1915 and 1920. He was one of the regulars in the Hal Roach crew of actors and was the heavy set character. His last film for Roach wasn't released until the year following his death, due to Harold Lloyd's accident with a prop bomb.
