Emmett Lynn was an American actor of the stage and screen.

By 1935, he was just one of the comedians in a travelling musical revue called The Passing Show. On screen, Lynn appeared in over 140 films between 1940 and 1956. He made several television appearances from 1949 until his death, especially in westerns. He was featured in nine episodes of The Lone Ranger during the final decade of his life. He was born in Muscatine, Iowa, and died in Hollywood, California from a heart attack.
