Jack Wagner (January 5, 1897 - February 6, 1965) was a U.S. screenwriter. Born in Los Angeles, California, USA, he spent many years as a gigolo in Mexico before returning to Los Angeles to work for D. W. Griffith on his early films.

Between the years 1909 and 1912, Wagner worked mostly as a furniture painter or set designer and second unit cameraman. He then turned his attention to gag writing and found a job with Mack Sennett writing gags for Keystone Kops shorts. His specialty was comedy construction, especially the famed car chase scenes. When the United States entered World War I, he joined the Army's first motion picture unit. He photographed several battles and was discharged in 1919. He continued working through the teens and 1920s as a gag writer. He also worked as an assistant director and second unit man for such directors as Allan Dwan and Lewis Milestone.

In the mid-1920s he wrote gags for Harry Langdon and Will Rogers. When talkies arrived, Wagner found himself making the difficult transition from silents. He never achieved the success he found in silents. Yet he found steady work as a gag man, adding bits of dialogue to comedy and dramatic films. In 1934, he helped script The Little Minister with Katharine Hepburn. He also helped write the short film La Cucaracha, which garnered RKO an Academy Award.

Even after this success, he struggled with putting pen to paper. When he came up with the story idea for A Medal for Benny he again was troubled with putting the story to paper. He had known John Steinbeck for many years. Steinbeck had considered Jack's mother, Edith Wagner, as his first writing coach while growing up in Salinas, California. Jack and his brothers - Max, Blake and Bob - had been steady friends and drinking buddies with Steinbeck since the 1920s. After much work Steinbeck and Jack wrote the script for Benny and it earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Story. It was the highlight of Jack's career. He went on to help Steinbeck with another script on The Pearl. He closed out his career as a producer of Mexican films featuring such actresses as Dolores Del Rio, among others. He died in Los Angeles.

Because of the prevalence of his voice over the park, his nickname was "The Voice of Disneyland".

Born in Washington, Missouri, the son of Peter Wagner, a car salesman who died in 1990, and his wife, Scotty, he took up golf at age 10 and spent his teen years planning on becoming a pro. Performing on stage was just an extracurricular activity for him at the local St. Gertrude School though he won raves. "He has always been an entertainer, " says his friend Jim Powers, a former teacher at St. Gertrude who is now his personal manager. "He was really a leader of the school." After attending the University of Missouri for a year and winning the state golf championship he applied for a golf scholarship to the University of Arizona in 1980. "Fifty young guys all thought they were going to be Jack Nicklaus," he says. He lost out. In frustration, he auditioned for the drama program and won a full scholarship. From that point on, golf took second place. "I decided that I have much more control over what I do on stage, " says Jack, "than whether or not my golf ball goes out-of-bounds when it hits a tree." The day after graduating in 1982, Wagner drove to Los Angeles, where he found work as a tour guide at Universal Studios while auditioning for parts. After a brief stint in the short lived cable-TV soap "A New Day in Eden", he won the role of Frisco Jones on "General Hospital" (1963).
