Perry Elmo Futrell Jr. (October 7, 1916 – December 4, 1993), was a real estate broker and appraiser who served from 1962 to 1966 as the Democratic mayor of Pineville, a city located east of the Red River across from Alexandria in Rapides Parish in Central Louisiana.
Futrell was born in Pollock in Grant Parish north of Pineville to Perry Futrell Sr. (1891–1986), and the former Amanda N. "Mandy" Willett (1890–1977). In the 1930 U.S. Census, the Futrells were living in Catahoula Parish. Futrell was living with his parents and two younger siblings in Dry Prong in Grant Parish at the time of the 1940 U.S. Census.
On July 1, 1942, Futrell enlisted at Camp Beauregard in Pineville into the United States Army Air Corps, forerunner to the Air Force.
Futrell did appraisal work for the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. In 1975, in a suit regarding five acres of property off U.S. Highway 71 northwest of Campti in , the state sought to declare Futrell as an expert appraiser. The trial judge immediately agreed that Futrell had the qualifications to appraise the property: "I don't want to cut you short, but Mr. Futrell has been qualified numerous times in this court and I would be willing to accept him on the basis of what I already know about him."
