Jack Purvis (13 July 1937 – 21 November 1997) was a British film actor. Purvis had dwarfism, and at 4 feet 2 inches (1.27 m) was mainly cast in roles requiring actors of short stature. He appeared in three of director Terry Gilliam's early fantasy films, with significant roles in Time Bandits and The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. In 1991, Purvis became quadriplegic after his neck was broken in a car repair accident. This and the 1990 death of David Rappaport led to Terry Gilliam's indefinitely shelving an intended sequel to Time Bandits, where both actors played the titular roles.

Purvis caracterizó tres tipos diferentes de criaturas alienígenas en la trilogía inicial de la Guerra de las Galaxias (incluyendo a Teebo en El Retorno del Jedi) y también apareció en las películas fantásticas Time Bandits, Brazil y The Adventures of Baron Munchausen. Algunos años antes de su muerte, Purvis quedó tetrapléjico luego de romperse el cuello en un accidente automovilístico. Murió en noviembre de 1997 a los 60 años.
