Parker Bailey (1902 – 1980) was an American composer, pianist, and lawyer. He was a nephew of Horatio Parker, with whom he had hoped to study at Yale University, but Parker died before taking him on. Bailey served for a time as a lawyer at the Securities and Exchange Commission, but remained active as a composer for much of his life.
