Eugene Edward Greytak (November 14, 1925 – February 28, 2010) was an American real estate broker who made a career as an actor by impersonating Pope John Paul II, to whom he bore a significant resemblance.

Greytak was a Catholic, and had at least the tacit permission of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles to impersonate the pope.
