Bob Dishy (born January 12, 1934) is an American actor of stage, film, and television.

Dishy was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Amy (Barazani) and Nissim Dishy. He is married to former actress Judy Graubart (The Electric Company).

He is best remembered today for playing Sergeant Wilson, Columbo's polite, respectful assistant in two episodes of Columbo ("Now You See Him" and "The Greenhouse Jungle") and as “Mister Terrific” in one episode of The Golden Girls. He also appeared in several episodes of Law & Order.

His film appearances included Lovers and Other Strangers (1970), I Wonder Who's Killing Her Now? (1975), The Big Bus (1976), The Last Married Couple in America (1980), First Family (1980), Author! Author! (1982), Brighton Beach Memoirs (1986), Critical Condition (1987), Stay Tuned (1992), Used People (1992), Don Juan DeMarco (1994), Jungle 2 Jungle (1997) and Along Came Polly (2004).

He was a regular on That Was The Week That Was, a weekly satirical series that aired on NBC-TV in 1964–65.

He made his stage debut as a replacement for the ballplayer Rocky in the original run of the hit musical Damn Yankees: a role he reprised ten years later for the TV adaptation.
