Páll Valtýr Pálsson^[1] or "Bill" Cody Sr. (January 5, 1891 – January 24, 1948) was a Hollywood B-Western actor of the 1920s, 1930s, and 1940s, and father to Bill Cody Jr.

Cody began his acting career in the early days of film and just happened to have the same name as "Buffalo" Bill Cody, although he was not a relation. Cody's name was what initially drew producers to him; however, he soon proved to be a charismatic performer in his own right.
