Aiden J Harvey (born 1952 in Lancashire, England) is an angular English north country comedian and impersonator who got his break on the mid-1970s ATV talent show New Faces. He was subsequently in demand on TV comedy and variety shows throughout the following decade.

He is probably most famous as a member of the Copy Cats team, a popular comedy programme of the late 1980s. Produced by LWT, it centred on a group of impressionists and remained a staple of ITV1's early evening Saturday night schedule for several seasons. Harvey was also frequently seen as a guest performer on some of the big budget televised variety spectacles of the same era (e.g. Live from the Piccadilly).[1][2]

In 2005, he was carving out a living working as a comedian on the cabaret circuit in the Costa del Sol,[3] and also as a cruise ship entertainer.[4]

In 2007 he appeared in the pantomime version of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the Southport Theatre.[5]
