**Alan Wolf Arkin** (26 Maart 1934 – 29 Junie 2023) was 'n Amerikaanse akteur, regisseur, komediant en musikant met ’n loopbaan wat oor byna ses dekades gestrek het. Hy was bekend vir sy rolle in die rolprente *Edward Scissorhands* (1990), *Glengarry Glen Ross* (1992), *Little Miss Sunshine* (2006), en *Argo* (2012). Hy was van Joodse afkoms.

## Loopbaan 
Arkin, wat van 10-jarige ouderdom af toneelspellesse geneem het, het aan verskeie drama-instellings studeer. Hy het die folkgroep The Tarriers saam met twee vriende gestig; Arkin het gesing en kitaar gespeel. Van 1958 tot 1968 het hy saam met die kindergroep The Baby Sitters gesing. Hy het ook in die operette *Candide* gesing. In die 1960's was hy ’n vroeë lid van die komediegeselskap The Second City.

Hy is bekend vir sy spel in prente soos *The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming* (1966), *Wait Until Dark* (1967), *The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter* (1968), *Catch-22* (1970), *The In-Laws* (1979), *Edward Scissorhands* (1990), *Glengarry Glen Ross* (1992), *Little Miss Sunshine* (2006) en *Argo* (2012).

Hy is benoem vir twee Oscars vir beste akteur, vir *The Russians Are Coming, the Russians Are Coming* en *The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter*, en een vir beste manlike byspeler vir *Argo*. Met eersgenoemde het hy een van net ses mense geword wat ’n Oscar-benoeming vir beste akteur vir sy eerste rolprentrol gekry het. Hy het dié prys vir beste manlike byspeler gewen vir *Little Miss Sunshine*, wat tot dusver sy enigste Oscar is.
