Geoffrey Owens is an American actor. He currently teaches an acting class at HB Studio in New York City. As son of United States Congressman Major Owens, he is perhaps most remembered for his role as Elvin Tibideaux, husband of Sondra Huxtable on the final five seasons (1985–1992) of NBC's sitcom The Cosby Show.

He guest starred as Eddie's father in the That's So Raven episode "The Way We Were". He has appeared on the FX sitcom It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the season 3 episode "The Gang Gets Invincible" he appears at the Philadelphia Eagles' public tryouts as an actor pretending to be Donovan McNabb doing a plug for McDonald's but the gang recognize him as that guy from The Cosby Show who played "Sondra's husband...Elvin"[sic]. In the season 7 episode "Frank's Pretty Woman" he plays a guy pretending to be Tiger Woods. Dee, however, recognizes him and calls him out as the guy who pretended to be Donavan McNabb at the Eagles' tryouts. He then admits he is not Tiger Woods but then claims to be actor Don Cheadle. He also made an appearance on the season premiere of NBC's Las Vegas on September 28, 2007.

In 2011, Owens portrayed the role of Caska at the Shakespeare Theatre Company in its Free-For-All production of Julius Caesar.
