Willis Ben Bouchey (1907 – 1977) was an American character actor who appeared in almost 150 films and television shows. He is perhaps best known for his appearances in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, The Big Heat, No Name on the Bullet, and Suddenly. He also made uncredited appearances in From Here to Eternity, How the West Was Won, Them!, and A Star is Born.

He was born in Vernon, Michigan, but raised by his mother and stepfather in Washington.

Throughout his career, he worked in twelve different productions for director John Ford and was one of the more frequently-used members of the John Ford Stock Company. In The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance he delivered the memorable line 'Nothing's too good for the man who shot Liberty Valance.'
