Jimmy Hanley (22 October 1918 - 13 January 1970) was a British actor.

Born in Norwich, Norfolk, Hanley began his career as a child actor before becoming popular in juvenile roles. He was groomed by the Rank Studio system during his teenage years and earned film stardom as a "boy-next-door" type. He later worked on TV, hosting the ITV series Jim's Inn, which combined advertising messages within the plot of a soap opera.

Hanley was married twice:

• Dinah Sheridan (1942-1952) (three children, including Jenny Hanley and Sir Jeremy Hanley)
• Margaret Avery (1955-1970) (three daughters: Jane, Sarah and Katy)

Hanley died from cancer in Leatherhead, Surrey, aged 51.
