Wilfred Lytell Jr. (October 16, 1891 – September 10, 1954) was an American film actor.

On November 29, 1923, while working the film The Warrens of Virginia in San Antonio, Texas, actress Martha Mansfield was severely burned when a tossed match ignited her Civil War costume.

When her clothing burst into flames, Lytell, who was the leading actor, threw his heavy overcoat over her and her chauffeur's hands were severely burned from trying to remove her burning clothing.

The fire was put out, but she sustained substantial burns to her body and succumbed to her injuries the next day.

[4] He died in Salem, New York, on September 10, 1954.
