List of actors who have played Santa Claus

This is a list of actors who have played Santa Claus in film and on television, including voice acting roles. This does not count actors whose characters have dressed as Santa Claus. For example, Dan Castellaneta would not be included in this list for voicing Homer Simpson, a character who dressed up as a mall Santa in the pilot episode of The Simpsons. Roles are live action unless appearing in an animated TV special, animated series, or animated film, in which cases they are voice acting roles.
