Eddie Acuff (born June 3, 1903 in Caruthersville, Missouri – d. December 17, 1956 in Hollywood, California) was an American actor. His best-known recurring role is that of Mr. Beasley, the postman, in the Blondie movie series that starred Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake.

Acuff was probably bitten by the acting bug through association with his maternal uncle, a performer on 19th Century showboats along the Mississippi River. Before beginning his Hollywood film career in 1934, he performed in Broadway theatre in the early-1930s.
