John K. Collum (June 29, 1926 – August 28, 1962) was an American child actor of the 1930s.

Born in Illinois, he was discovered by Hal Roach, and appeared in twenty-six of Roach's "Our Gang" comedies from 1932 to 1938. In several of these shorts, Collum portrayed a character named "Uh-huh", who answered most of his questions with a drawn-out "Uh-huuuuuh...". Initially, it was assumedwho that he only appeared in a few episodes from 1932 to 1933, but after reviewing the films closely, it was discovered that he appeared in many more later "Our Gang" films. After 1933, John Collum was used as an extra when many children were needed (for example classroom scenes).

Collum died on August 28, 1962 in Los Angeles, California of a heart attack. He is interred in the Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery in North Hollywood.
