Clem Bevans (October 16, 1879 – August 11, 1963) was a character actor best remembered for playing eccentric, grumpy old men.

Bevans had a very long career, starting in vaudeville in 1900 in an act with Grace Emmett. He progressed to burlesque, Broadway, and even light opera, before making his film debut at the age of 55 in Way Down East (1935). His portrayal was so good, he became stereotyped and played mostly likable old codgers for the rest of his life. However, he did occasionally play against type, for example as a Nazi spy in Alfred Hitchcock's Saboteur (1942). He also made some television appearances, including The Twilight Zone episode "Hocus-Pocus and Frisby" (1962) as Pete (Season 3 - Episode 30).

His role in Disneyland's TV miniseries Davy Crockett was Captain Cobb. He is buried in Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery.
