John F. Hamilton (7 November 1893 – 11 July 1967) was an American-born actor who worked for many years in the theatre but only occasionally on film. He is probably best-remembered as "Pops", father of Eva Marie Saint's character, in Elia Kazan's film classic On The Waterfront. He was known as John F. Hamilton to distinguish him from the much more prolific American film actor John Hamilton and from a British actor of youthful roles who worked in England and Europe in the 1930s
