Byron Houck (August 28, 1891 – June 17, 1969) was an American cinematographer and pitcher in Major League Baseball during the 1910s. He attended the University of Oregon.
Houck later pitched for the Vernon Tigers of the Pacific Coast League. Fatty Arbuckle owned the team and he worked with Buster Keaton. This connection led to Houck doing camera work on such Keaton silent films as Sherlock, Jr., Seven Chances and The General.
