Sydney Leicester Conabere (8 July 1918 – 15 July 2008) was an Australian actor. He was notable for his work in theatre, film and television drama in a career spanning more than fifty years. In 1962 Conabere won the Logie award for Best Actor, for his performance in the television play The One Day of the Year. He worked prolifically as a stage actor from 1938 to 1989, particularly with the Melbourne Theatre Company and Melbourne Little Theatre, sharing the stage (and applause) with Irene Mitchell in, for example, Lilian Hellman's The Little Foxes.
Conabere had an extensive career as a character actor from the 1950s to the 2000s, regularly appearing in popular Australian television serials, including Emergency, Matlock Police and Homicide. He worked for a short period in the United Kingdom, appearing in the drama serials Z Cars and Sherlock Holmes, the comedy Please Sir!, and in the crime film Man of Violence.
In the 1980s Conabere reached a wider international audience, making occasional appearances in two long running Australian soap operas, in Neighbours as Dan Ramsay and as Doug Palmer in Sons and Daughters.
Sydney Conabere died in Sydney, Australia on 15 July 2008, aged 90.
