Dennis Ryland is a fictional character on the USA Network science fiction The 4400.

The original supervisor and director of NTAC during season one, Ryland was responsible for getting the 4400's released from quarantine.

During the final episode of season two Ryland was arrested for his involvement for the production and administration of the Promicin inhibitor to unsuspecting returnees. In season three he begins working as the leader of a privately owned company, Haspel Corporation, a defense contractor aiding the NSA in the tracking of the Nova Group, a terrorist organization of 4400 returnees. His prime motivation is based on his belief that the existence of civilians with 4400 abilities is a danger to the country, and works to limit the use of supernatural abilities created by promicin to the military and the government.
