Dick Hogan (November 27, 1917 – August 18, 1995), sometimes credited as Richard Hogan, was an American actor of the 1930s and 1940s. During his twelve-year career he appeared in over three dozen films, in roles which varied from unnamed bellhops to featured and starring roles. His final film performance was as the murder victim in Alfred Hitchcock's treatise on thrill killing, Rope.

Hogan was born in Little Rock, Arkansas on November 27, 1917. He entered the film industry at the age of nineteen, his first role in the small part of one of the young men in a Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) camp in the 1937 drama Blazing Barriers. His next film had him in the featured role of Bob D. Wilson in Annapolis Salute, directed by Christy Cabanne.
