Julian Dean C. Orchard (born 3 March 1930, in Wheatley, Oxfordshire, England ^[1] — died 21 June 1979, in Westminster, London, England ^[2]) was an English comedy actor.

Orchard was educated at Shrewsbury School and the Guildhall School of Music and Drama. He appeared as the flamboyant Duke of Montague, a cousin of Prince Edward, in the Cinderella film, The Slipper and the Rose. He had a regular slot on Spike Milligan's The World of Beachcomber, a TV version of the Beachcomber pieces by J. B. Morton, appearing as the poet Roland Milk. His customary role was that of a gangling and effete - and sometimes effeminate - dandy.

He appeared in several of the comedy Carry On films.

He appeared on BBC television as the "Minister for the Arts" in the The Goodies episode "Culture for the Masses" and as one of the "mechanicals" in a production of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
