Angelo Rossitto (1908-1991) was an American actor, born in Omaha, Nebraska. He was sometimes credited only by his first name.
One of the most successful little person actors of his era, Mr. Rossitto appeared in many genre films including Freaks, The Wizard of Oz, and Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome. He also had some recurring roles on television, such as Little Moe on Baretta, Mr. Big on Liddsville, and Seymour Spider on H.R. Pufnstuf.

- Mr. Rossitto's credits often refer to him using the terms "dwarf" or "midget". These terms are now considered to be insensitive and insulting.
