Lou Vernon (born Clarence Alphonse Lambert, 26 June 1888, Brisbane – 22 December 1971, Sydney) was an Australian actor of stage, radio and screen and producer.

He also found love in a stunningly good looking divorcee Olive Stella Josephine Lockyer Norris, née Sinclair.

[4] By mid-1920's he was engaged by the J.C. Williamson Company and landed the plum role of Emile La Flamme in Rudolph Friml's romantic musical Rose-Marie.

Also in the cast was Fifi Banvard, at the time separated from her husband and fellow member of Thespian Masonic Lodge in Brisbane, Edward de Tisne.

The several times extended season of Rose Marie provided the venue for a long tempestuous love affair between Fifi and Lou Vernon.
