Kermit Maynard (September 20, 1897 – January 16, 1971) was an American actor and stuntman.

[4] After he finished college, Maynard worked as a claims agent for the George H. Hormel Meat Packing Company.

Unlike his more famous brother Ken Maynard, who was often argumentative and difficult to work with, the mild-mannered and more agreeable Kermit Maynard continued to work steadily in pictures,[5] appearing in the supporting casts of dozens of westerns, serials, Hollywood features, and TV episodes through 1962.

When producers would cast multiple cowboy stars in a single feature, Kermit Maynard joined the posse in Trail of Robin Hood and Once Upon a Horse.

On January 16, 1971, Maynard died at his home in North Hollywood, California, from a heart attack.
