Walter Greene (January 23, 1910 - December 23, 1983) was a film and television composer who worked on numerous productions for over 30 years.

While Greene composed for a variety of genres, he is arguably most well known for his work at United Artists, providing the musical scores for numerous Pink Panther animated shorts in the 1960s and 1970s. The scores were built around the "Pink Panther Theme" composed by Henry Mancini, creating different variations of the famous theme.

Greene also had a brief stint at Warner Bros., creating music for six Looney Tunes shorts from 1966 to 1967:

*"A Squeak in the Deep"
*"Feather Finger"
*"Swing Ding Amigo"
*"Sugar and Spies"
*"Taste of Catnip"
*"Daffy's Diner"

In 1946, he earned an Academy Award nomination for his score to the 1945 film "Why Girls Leave Home".
