Kit Guard (born Christen Klitgaard May 5, 1894 - July 18, 1961) was a Danish-American actor whose career started in the 1920s.

[3][4] Guard made his sound film debut with The Racketeer (1929), in the role of a small-time criminal, a social type he would often play.

He appeared with Al Cooke as a comic duo in a number of films from 1923 to 1927 and briefly reuniting in 1931 to co-star in the low-budget Defenders of the Law with Mae Busch.

[6] Most of his 30 feature films in which he appeared were decidedly low-budget, poverty row projects, but he had small roles in a number of high-production movies, among these Frank Capra’s It Happened One Night (1935) as a bus passenger and You Can't Take It With You (1938) as prison inmate, neither role credited.

[7][8] Guard died of cancer at the Picture Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills on July 18, 1961, aged 67.
