Tim Heidecker (born February 3, 1976) is an American actor, comedian, and one half of the duo of "Tim & Eric", the other being Eric Wareheim. Like Wareheim, Heidecker's comedic style is often conveyed in a very deadpan manner mixed with hints of realism and often comes across as seeming more serious than it usually should. Heidecker also enacts physical comedy routines along with Eric, as part of their double act.

Heidecker was born in Allentown, Pennsylvania. He attended Allentown Central Catholic High School and Temple University.

Heidecker and Wareheim are the creators, writers, and stars of Tom Goes to the Mayor, a limited animation series on Adult Swim. Tim plays "Tom", the confused protagonist of the show. He is presented as a bit of a pushover, a "nice guy who wants to do good things". He brings his ideas to The Mayor (played by Wareheim), who always seems to change or ruin Tom's ideas and leave Tom sad and broke. Heidecker has said that he isn't much like Tom in reality despite their similar names.

Heidecker and Wareheim's latest show, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, premiered February 11, 2007 on Adult Swim. The show features "live action, sketch, animation, emotions, phone calls, love, etc.", according to their website.

He and Eric also made guest appearances in "Comedy", the fourth episode of the third season of Scottish video game series VideoGaiden.
