Lawrence J. Zerner (born September 8, 1963) is an American lawyer and actor who appeared in the 1982 horror film Friday the 13th Part III as Shelly Finkelstein, the original owner of the infamous hockey mask which became Jason Voorhees's trademark. He later reprised the role in the 2017 video game Friday the 13th: The Game.

After quitting acting in 1987, Zerner became an entertainment lawyer in Hollywood. In 2005, Larry represented Jeff Bergquist in a copyright infringement lawsuit against Daniel Knauf and HBO over the television series Carnivàle. Also in 2005, Zerner represented George Lutz in a lawsuit against the makers of the remake of The Amityville Horror.
