Old Monty was a character from the 2003 remake of the 1974 classic The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and its prequel The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning. He is portrayed by Terrence Evans.

Old Monty is a bitter, lecherous old man whose legs have been amputated, confining him to a wheelchair. After Sheriff Hoyt killed a biker's girlfriend, the biker sought revenge on the Hewitts and attacked Monty by shooting him in the leg. As a bit of impromptu 'surgery', Hoyt ordered Leatherface to remove the wounded leg with his chainsaw. Leatherface accidentally nicked Monty's second leg, so Hoyt told him to remove that as well for 'balance'.

He is the second member of Leatherface's family to meet the stranded teenagers in the first film that eventually become Leatherface's victims (the first being Luda Mae), and he is the one to first summon the killer by repeatedly rapping his cane against the floor. His relationship to Leatherface is unknown, but its very likely that he's his uncle.
