Porter Strong (1879- June 11, 1923) was an American silent film character actor. Often he appeared in ethnic humour roles as a country bumpkin or as an individual in blackface. He's best remembered for his comic relief appearances in films directed by D. W. Griffith. Since many of Griffith's films survive so has Strong's performances.

He died in New York City.
