Sergeant Warren H. "Skip" Muck (January 31, 1922 - January 10, 1945) fought in World War II as part of Company E ("Easy Company") of the 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, U.S. 101st Airborne Division.

Muck grew up in Tonawanda, New York. After training in Camp Toccoa, Georgia, Muck made his first combat jump on June 6, 1944 (D-Day) as part of Operation Overlord. In September 1944, he jumped into occupied Holland as part of Operation Market Garden, which eventually failed. After being pulled off the line, Easy Company returned to France, where they were transported to Bastogne, Belgium to fight in the Battle of the Bulge. Muck and his friend Alex Penkala were killed when fire from German artillery landed on their foxhole just outside the Belgian town of Foy.

Muck is buried at the American cemetery in Hamm, Luxembourg.

Warren "Skip" Muck was portrayed in the HBO miniseries "Band of Brothers" by Richard Speight, Jr.
