Hal Roach, originalmente Harold Eugene Roach (Elmira, Nueva York; 14 de enero de 1892-Bel Air, California; 2 de noviembre de 1992), fue un productor cinematográfico estadounidense.

En 1912 llegó a Hollywood y probó suerte como actor, produciendo y dirigiendo Just Nuts (1915) y haciendo amistad con Harold Lloyd, quien protagonizó esta película. En 1919 fundó el Hal Roach Studio y continuó produciendo otras comedias donde participaba Lloyd, como Safety Last! (1923).
