Larry Solway (born March 1928)[1] is a Canadian actor and broadcaster.

During the 1960s, he hosted radio programmes at CHUM in Toronto such as the early Canadian talk show Speak Your Mind.[2][3]

Solway was known nationally as a panelist of the CBC Television programme This Is the Law in the early 1970s. He returned to the radio talk show circuit later that decade with Talkback on Brampton, Ontario station CHIC until management there dismissed him without warning.[4] He was seen in minor roles in films such as Meatballs and The Brood.

He was a candidate for the Ontario New Democratic Party in the 1999 Ontario general election but was unsuccessful in his campaign in St. Paul's riding.[5]
