Herbert Anderson (March 30, 1917 – June 11, 1994) was an American character actor from Oakland, CA, probably best remembered for his part as Henry Mitchell in the classic television sitcom "Dennis The Menace".

After a few minor roles in films for Warner Bros., Anderson got his big break in the 1941 picture "Navy Blues", starring Martha Raye and Ann Sheridan. Another film role for him was that of Pvt. Hanson in the 1949 World War II film "Battleground". Anderson also acted extensively in Broadway shows, including the role of Dr. Bird in "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial". He was also in the film version of "The Caine Mutiny", with Humphrey Bogart, he was the only one of both casts to be both in the Broadway play and the movie.

Anderson is also known for guest-starring roles in many television shows, including "My Three Sons", "I Dream of Jeannie", "Family Affair", "Batman", "The Brady Bunch" and "The Waltons".

Anderson retired from acting in 1982 after having heart surgery. He died of complications from a stroke on June 11, 1994 in Palm Springs, CA.
