Willis "Buddy" Hendrix (born 1926) is an attorney and candidate for Birmingham's 2007 Birmingham mayoral election.
Hendrix portrayed Mickey Mouse for the Alabama Theatre from 1939 to 1943 before serving the country in World War II. He returned to Birmingham's West End after the war and eventually opened a law practice.
In 2002 Hendrix ran for a post on the Birmingham Board of Education, but was unsuccessful. He also put his name on the ballot for the 2003 and 2007 elections for Mayor of Birmingham.
In announcing his 2007 candidacy, Hendrix criticized what he perceives as the city's intrusions into the rights of property owners and called for more investment in parks and recreation.
