Walter "Wally" S. Orlinsky (May 19, 1938 – February 9, 2002) was an American politician who served in public office in the city of Baltimore and the state of Maryland.
A Democrat, he was the president of the Baltimore City Council from 1971 to 1982, when he resigned after being charged with extortion.
After accepting a cash bribe in 1982 from a hauler which sought a city contract to transport sludge to Western Maryland, Orlinsky pled guilty to one charge of extortion.
After his release from prison, Orlinsky worked as a restaurant maître d', a vendor at Oriole Park at Camden Yards, and executive director of a tree-planting program of the Maryland Forest Service.
He attended Johns Hopkins University, where he participated with a group of student activists who unsuccessfully sought to integrate the nearby Blue Jay Restaurant by bringing Duke Ellington there after a concert on February 22, 1960.
