Carl Laemmle Jr. (born Julius Laemmle; April 28, 1908 – September 24, 1979) was an American businessman and heir of Carl Laemmle, who had founded Universal Studios. He was head of production at the studio from 1928 to 1936.

Laemmle was born on April 28, 1908. He was the son of Carl Laemmle, the founder of Universal Pictures. He had a sister Rosabelle. His mother was Recha Laemmle (née Stern), who died in 1919 when he was eleven years old. She was buried in Salem Fields Cemetery, in the Glendale section of Brooklyn. The remaining members of the Laemmle family shared a large New York City apartment located at 465 West End Avenue.

The family moved to Los Angeles, California. On July 19, 1941, the family arranged to move Recha's remains to the family mausoleum within the Home Of Peace Cemetery in Los Angeles.

During his tenure as head of production, beginning in 1928 in the early years of "talkie" movies, the studio had great success with films such as All Quiet on the Western Front (1930), Dracula (1931), Waterloo Bridge (1931), Frankenstein (1931), East of Borneo (1931), A House Divided (1931), The Mummy (1932), The Old Dark House (1932), The Invisible Man (1933), Imitation of Life (1934), and Bride of Frankenstein (1935).
