William Henry Pratt (n. 23 noiembrie 1887, Honor Oak, Londra – d. 2 februarie 1969, Midhurst, Sussex[12]), mai bine cunoscut sub numele de scenă Boris Karloff, a fost un actor englez.[13]
Karloff este cel mai notabil pentru rolurile sale din mai multe filme de groază și pentru interpretarea rolului monstrului lui Frankenstein în Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935) și Son of Frankenstein (1939), filme care au dus la o imensă popularitate a actorului. Cel mai cunoscut rol non-horror al său este Grinch (de asemenea și al naratorului) din episodul special animat de televiziune „Dr. Seuss's Cum a furat Grinch Crăciunul” (1966). De asemenea are un rol memorabil în filmul original Scarface (1932).
