Jock Gaynor (September 14, 1929 – April 2, 1998) was an American actor, producer, and writer, whose work was confined primarily to television. His series acting career began at the age of thirty-one, when he was cast in a supporting role as deputy marshal Heck Martin during the first season (1960-1961) of the NBC western series Outlaws, starring Barton MacLane and Don Collier, and in the second season, Collier and Bruce Yarnell. His character Heck Martin was the on-screen nephew to Collier's role of Will Foreman.

Gaynor was a native of New York City who sometimes used the stage names Jack Gaynor or Ward Gaynor. In 1960, he appeared as the character Joe Malone in NBC's Wichita Town with Joel McCrea.
