Doc Crane (1847 – April 17, 1920) was an American silent film actor.

Crane was a medical doctor in Boston who served in the Civil War and returned to his practice after its end. When he was 65, he moved to California to retire. After financial difficulties depleted his savings, he found work as a character actor at Universal studios, drawing upon his experience in amateur dramatic productions when he was in medical school.[1]

He was signed in 1914 and starred in about 30 films before his retirement three years later in 1917.
