Tiger Tyson (Brooklyn, New York, 20 May 1977) is an American gay pornographic actor, model and film director. Considered a "Blatino" due to his African-American and Puerto Rican ethnic origins.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]

Born in Brooklyn, New York, he made his debut in pornographic cinema at the age of 19 with the film Sweatin' Black by director Enrique Cruz, shortly after which he made his first leading role in Tiger's Brooklyn Tails.[14] After serving a stint for Latino Fan Club, Tyson left the sex industry in 1999, quickly resuming the following year with his own film production company, Tiger Tyson Productions. He again announced his retirement in 2004, but changed his mind after the success of the film Take 'Em Down. He has also worked as a go-go dancer and escort.

He stands out for his participation in films with homosexual adult themes, where he regularly acts as a top, insisting that he will never play a bottom in a film. Recognized for the size of his penis and for his aggressive sexual attitude towards to the cameras. It frequently appears in publications related to the gay scene.

Off camera he is a promoter of safe sex, the fight against AIDS and gay rights. In 2007 he publicly supported Hillary Clinton presidential campaign.[15]That same year he was awarded the Blatino Erotica Awards.
