Algimantas Mykolas Dailidė (12 March 1921 – 2015) was a Lithuanian Nazi collaborator who was an official of the Nazi-sponsored Lithuanian Security Police (Saugumas) during World War II. After the war, Dailidė sought refuge in the United States, saying he had been a "forester". While in the United States, Dailidė lived in both Florida and Cleveland, Ohio.

In 2006, a Lithuanian court convicted him of having arrested twelve Jews, including women and children, and two Poles who tried to flee from the Vilna Ghetto, and were subsequently executed. Dailidė received a 5-year prison sentence, but it was not enforced "because he is very old and does not pose danger to society".
