Antrim Short (July 11, 1900 – November 24, 1972) was an American stage and film actor, casting director and talent agent. As a juvenile he enjoyed some success on the Broadway stage notably appearing as a boy with Mrs. Fiske and Holbrook Blinn in Salvation Nell in 1908. While in his teens he appeared in silent films playing the kind of roles that were made popular by Jack Pickford.

Short was born to two actors, Lew Short and Estelle Short. His sisters were silent actresses Florence Short and Gertrude Short. They were cousins of Blanche Sweet. Short was married to Frances Morris, who is best remembered by tv fans as George Reeves's Earth mother Sarah Kent in The Adventures of Superman.

Short died in Los Angeles November 24, 1972.[2][3]
