Edmond L. DePatie ( January 27, 1900 - August 6, 1966 ) was Vice President and Manager of Warner Bros. Burbank Studios.
He became president of the Motion Picture Relief Fund in 1955 and later campaigned for the establishment of a Motion Picture Exposition and Hall of Fame to honor the motion picture industry and generate profits for the Motion Picture & Television Fund Country House . However, this project was unsuccessful, and despite efforts over several years, a Hollywood museum in favor of the Country House could not be implemented.

DePatie died of a myocardial infarction while vacationing in Chowchilla , California at the age of 66.
