Moroni Olsen (June 27, 1889 – November 22, 1954) was an American actor.

Olsen was born in Ogden, Utah to Mormon parents who named him after the prophet Moroni. After having worked on Broadway he made his film debut in a 1935 adaptation of The Three Musketeers. He later played a different role in a 1939 comedy version of the story, starring Don Ameche as D'Artagnan and the Ritz Brothers as three dimwitted lackeys who are forced to substitute for the musketeers, who have drunken themselves into a stupor. One of his most famous roles was the voice of the Magic Mirror in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Olsen died from a heart attack at the age of 65. He was buried in Ogden City Cemetery.
