Daniel Michael DeVito Jr. (/dəˈviːtoʊ/ də-VEE-toh; geboren op 17 november 1944) is een Amerikaanse acteur, komiek en filmmaker. Bekend om zijn kleine gestalte, schorre stem, uitgesproken accent en energieke komische rollen, verwierf hij bekendheid door zijn vertolking van de taxi-dispatcher Louie De Palma in de televisieserie Taxi (1978–1983), waarmee hij een Golden Globe Award en een Emmy Award won. Sinds 2006 speelt hij Frank Reynolds in de FX/FXX-sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. DeVito is bekend van zijn filmrollen in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (1975), Terms of Endearment (1983), Romancing the Stone (1984), The Jewel of the Nile (1985), Ruthless People (1986), Throw Momma from the Train (1987), Twins (1988), The War of the Roses (1989), Batman Returns (1992), Jack the Bear (1993), Junior (1994), Matilda (1996), L.A. Confidential (1997), The Big Kahuna (1999), Big Fish (2003), Deck the Halls (2006), When in Rome (2010), Wiener-Dog (2016) en Jumanji: The Next Level (2019). Hij heeft stemmen ingesproken in films als Disney's Hercules (1997), The Lorax (2012), Smallfoot (2018) en Migration (2023). In 1991 richtten DeVito en Michael Shamberg het productiebedrijf Jersey Films op. Kort daarna werd Stacey Sher een gelijkwaardige partner. Het productiebedrijf staat bekend van films zoals Pulp Fiction (1994), Garden State (2004) en Freedom Writers (2007). Later zou hij samen met zijn dochter Lucy en zoon Jake een tweede productiebedrijf oprichten, Jersey Films 2nd Avenue. DeVito was ook eigenaar van Jersey Television, dat de Comedy Central-serie Reno 911! produceerde. DeVito en zijn vrouw Rhea Perlman speelden samen in zijn film Matilda uit 1996, gebaseerd op de kinderroman van Roald Dahl. DeVito was ook een van de producenten die genomineerd werden voor een Academy Award voor Beste Film voor Erin Brockovich (2000). Van 2012 tot 2013 speelde DeVito Willie Clark in de West End-revival van Neil Simons The Sunshine Boys. Hij maakte zijn Broadway-debuut als Gregory Solomon in de revival van Arthur Millers The Price (2017), waarvoor hij een Tony Award-nominatie kreeg. Hij keerde terug naar Broadway in het toneelstuk I Need That van Theresa Rebeck (2023).
