Lloyd Ellsworth Hughes (October 21, 1897 – June 6, 1958) was an American actor of both the silent and sound film eras.

[1] Born in Bisbee, Arizona Territory, Hughes received his education at the Los Angeles Polytechnic School.

He sought a career as an actor early in life, and his clean-cut appearance and ability soon gained him recognition.

He made the transition to sound, and worked as an actor through the late 1930s, including a role with John Barrymore in the 1930 film, Moby Dick.

Hughes made two films in Australia in 1937 for Ken G. Hall and Cinesound Productions: Lovers and Luggers and The Broken Melody.
