早川雪洲（，Sessue Hayakawa，），本名早川金太郎，出生於日本千葉縣安房郡千倉町（現南房總市），青年時赴美國芝加哥大學攻讀經濟學，後來活躍於好萊塢等歐美電影界，並成為 20 世紀 10 年代中期至 20 年代晚期的超級巨星，風靡了許多女性觀眾，其地位堪與同時代的查理・卓別林、範朋克等人相提並論。早川雪洲也是第一位在西方電影界達到頂峰成就的日本人和東亞人。晚年參與《桂河大橋》的演出，並獲提名為 1957 年的奧斯卡最佳男配角獎。

雖然早川雪洲卓越的演技從無聲電影時代到有聲電影時代皆得到了西方人的肯定，但卻因 1915 年在電影《The Cheat》中扮演一個冷酷殘忍的日本青年而遭受祖國日本輿論的猛烈抨擊，並被扣上了國恥大帽，此事讓愛國心極強的早川雪洲深覺遺憾與不平。二戰結束後，早川雪洲積極地回到日本活動，參與了多部日本電影的演出。1966 年因妻子青木鶴子過世的影響而正式息影，1973 年於東京都千代田區神田的杏雲堂醫院因腦溢血病逝，享壽 87 歲。
