'''Hughie Mack''' (November 26, 1884 – October 13, 1927) was an American actor of the silent era. He appeared in more than 190 films between 1910 and 1928.
He was born in Brooklyn, New York. He was working as a mortician when he paid a casual visit to the Vitagraph studio in Brooklyn. His large frame and comical facial expression made Vitagraph's star comedian John Bunny laugh. As ''Picture Play'' Magazine reported, "The Vitagraph people decided that, if he was funny enough to amuse their star, he could also entertain the public. So he was hired."<ref>''Picture Play'', Jan. 1928, p. 26.</ref> He later became a prolific character comedian in feature films.
In late 1927 he suffered heart failure and died in his sleep at his home in Santa Monica, California.
