Heron Carvic (born Geoffrey Richard William Harris; 21 January 1913 – 9 February 1980) was an English actor and writer who provided the voice for Gandalf in the BBC Radio version of The Hobbit, and played Caiaphas the High Priest every time the play cycle The Man Born to Be King was broadcast. He also authored the five original Miss Seeton books featuring retired art teacher Miss Emily D. Seeton, a gentle parody of Agatha Christie's Miss Marple.

Seriously injured in an automobile accident near his home at Appledore, Kent, in August 1979, he never fully recovered and died in hospital the following February, despite having an operation and spending time in intensive care, dying from pneumonia.
