Paul Scardon (6 May 1874 Melbourne, Australia - 17 January 1954 Fontana, California) was an actor, a producer, and a director on both, Australian and New York stage. He directed Blanche Sweet in Unwilling Husband, Bessie Barriscale in some of her most successful productions, and most of the melodramas in which starred his wife, actress Betty Blythe. Retiring when talkies came in, Scardon returned to films as an actor in the 1940s, playing bit roles until he left permanently the film industry in 1948.
