Chester Conklin (1886-1971) was an American comedic actor, known for his long and prolific career in silent and sound cinema. He rose to fame in the 1910s as one of the iconic faces of Mack Sennett's comedies, particularly as a member of the Keystone Kops.

His distinctive trademark was a bushy "walrus" mustache which helped define his characters. Conklin excelled at portraying roles of gruff, confused men, or authoritative figures who constantly found themselves in hilarious and chaotic situations, typical of slapstick.

He frequently collaborated with stars such as Charlie Chaplin (in films like *The Fatal Mallet* and *Getting Acquainted*) and Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. Among his most notable films is the iconic *Tillie's Punctured Romance* (1914), one of the first feature-length comedies. His career extended into the 1960s, albeit in minor roles.
