Coy Watson Jr. (born November 16, 1912, in Los Angeles, California) was an American child actor of the silent era. He is the son of actor, stuntman, and pioneer special effects artist Coy Watson Sr. They lived by Echo Park area and Coy attended Belmont High School.

The younger Watson made his film debut in 1921, and appeared in approximately 24 films over a period of eight years. He had six brothers and three sisters who also acted in films, including Billy, Delmar, Garry, Harry and Bobs Watson. Because he was featured in several of Mack Sennett's popular "Keystone Cop" comedies, he earned the nickname, "The Keystone Kid".

Coy Watson Jr. was a Los Angeles-based news photographer for CBS Television in the 1950s. He was the head news photographer at KCRA-TV in Sacramento, Calif. in the late 1950s.

Watson's autobiography, "The Keystone Kid: Tales of Early Hollywood", was published in 2001.

The Watsons were honored by the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce by placing the Watson family star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 6674 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, California.
