Lorcan Cranitch (born December 30, 1959) is an Irish actor.

Born in Dublin, Cranitch's first major role on UK television was as Tim Healy in the 1991 BBC drama series, Parnell and the Englishwoman. However, it was as the corrupt DS Beck in Cracker that he became a familiar face to viewers. After being killed off as Beck, he returned to BBC in a part specially written for him, as Sean Dillon in Ballykissangel. Cranitch has appeared in several other UK television dramas, including Deacon Brodie (opposite Billy Connolly), Shackleton (opposite Kenneth Branagh) and Hornblower (opposite Ioan Gruffudd), and in the film, Dancing at Lughnasa. He has appeared on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company, notably as John Hall in The Herbal Bed, and has played George Bernard Shaw on BBC radio.

In 2005, he again took a villainous role in the HBO/BBC production of Rome, as the underworld baron Erastes Fulmen, and became a regular in ITV police soap, The Bill.

Cranitch is married to Susan Jackson, a newsreader with RTE (Radio Teilifis Eireann).
