Algimantas Mykolas Dailidė (born March 12, 1921 in Kaunas) is a former Lithuanian Security Police (Saugumas) official.^[1] After the war, Dailidė sought refuge in the United States, saying he had been a "forester." While in the United States, Dailidė was a real estate agent until he retired to Gulfport, Florida. His citizenship was revoked in 1997 and he was deported in 2004. He is on the Simon Wiesenthal Center's list of most wanted Nazi war criminals.

A Lithuanian court convicted him for capturing Poles and Jews trying to escape from the Vilna Ghetto, who were then summarily executed by the Nazis; however he was not sentenced to prison "because he is very old and does not pose danger to society."^[2]
