Henry "Huntz" Hall (August 15, 1919January 30, 1999) was an American radio, theatrical, and motion picture performer perhaps best known for his acting in the "Dead End Kids" movies such as Angels with Dirty Faces (1938). Hall later played the increasingly buffoonish Horace Debussy "Sach" Jones in 48 inexpensive but profitable "Bowery Boys" entries, graduating to top billing when Leo Gorcey left the series in 1955. He also appeared in other films not associated with the comedy team, such as his portrayal of Pvt. Carraway in the war film, A Walk in the Sun, in 1945.

He died from congestive heart failure at the age of 79. Huntz Hall is interred in a niche at All Saints Episcopal Church, Pasadena, Los Angeles County, California.
