Ken Wayne (1925–1993) was an Australian actor of radio, theatre, film and television. He made his film debut in Sons of Matthew (1949) and appeared in a number of movies including Dust in the Sun (1958). He was also well known for his work in radio, particularly for playing private eye Larry Kent in the series I Hate Crime. According to colleague and friend Charles Tingwell, being so identified with Larry Kent hurt Wayne from being cast in other roles.

Wayne had a featured role as a submarine officer using an American accent in 1959's On the Beach filmed in Melbourne. He then worked for 13 years in London but returned to Australia in 1972 to become a regular guest artist on television movies and series.
