Harley M. "Beanie" Walker (June 27, 1885 – June 23, 1937) was a member of the Hal Roach movie production company from 1916 until his resignation in 1932.
As head of the Roach editorial department, he wrote title cards and, in the talkie era, dialogue for virtually all of the studio's output of that period, including the Our Gang and Laurel and Hardy comedy short subjects.
After leaving the Roach studio, Walker provided dialogue for comedies produced for Universal Pictures and Paramount Pictures. Before joining the Roach organization, he was a sports writer for the Los Angeles Examiner.
Walker died of a heart attack on June 23, 1937, four days short of his 52nd birthday.
