Monroe Owsley (August 11, 1900 – June 8, 1937) was an American actor.
Born in Atlanta, Georgia to aspiring actress Gertrude Owsley, he started taking acting when he was a teenager and made his Broadway debut in the 1920s. His first film happened in 1928, The First Kiss and he appeared as young boy Ned in the Philip Barry film Holiday. A later version had his part portrayed by Lew Ayres. Soon after, he was cast opposite actresses such as Clara Bow and Kay Francis. His portrayal of Ned later made a downslide to Owsley's career.
He died in 1937 from a heart attack in a car accident.
