Hans Conried (April 15, 1917 – January 5, 1982) was a comic character actor and voice actor.

Born Hans Georg Conried, Jr. in Baltimore, Maryland of Jewish descent. He was raised there and in New York City.

He was also a member of the Orson Welles Mercury Theatre Company.

Conried appeared regularly on many radio shows during the 1940s, notably the George Burns & Gracie Allen Show, on which he played a psychiatrist whom George regularly consulted for help in dealing with the dizzy Gracie.

Conried's most important single year was 1953, in which he made his Broadway debut in Can-Can and received screen credit in six films (among them The Twonky). Other Broadway productions include 70, Girls, 70 and Irene.

Conried's inimitable growl and impeccable diction were perfectly suited, whether portraying the dim Professor Kopokin in the radio show My Friend Irma or portraying comic villains and other mock-sinister or cranky types, such as Captain Hook (and Mr. Darling) in Walt Disney's Peter Pan and the Grinch from Dr. Seuss' Grinch Night. According to the DVD commentary of Futurama, he was also the inspiration for the voice created for that series' "Robot Devil."

Conried also was a cast member of The Rocky and Bullwinkle Show, voicing the character of Snidely Whiplash in the Dudley Do-Right shorts as well as Wally Walrus on The Woody Woodpecker Show and Uncle Waldo P. Wigglesworth on Hoppity Hooper. He was well known as the Williams family patriarch, Uncle Tonoose, on the sitcom Make Room for Daddy, a role he played for 13 years. He was also a regular performer on the Jack Paar Tonight Show from 1959 to 1962.

Conried was married to Margaret Grant from 29th January 1942 until he died from cardiovascular disease at the age of 64. They had four children.
