Harold Lyman Ryan (June 17, 1923 - April 10, 1995) was an attorney and federal judge in Idaho.
Born and raised in Weiser, Idaho, Ryan graduated from Weiser High School in 1941, and attended the University of Idaho in Moscow from 1941 to 1943, then enlisted in the U.S. Navy. He attended the University of Washington in Seattle under the V-12 Navy College Training Program, completed midshipmen's school at the University of Notre Dame, and graduated with a commission as an ensign in 1944. Ryan served the remainder of World War II in the Pacific Theater aboard the U.S.S. Merrick.
Ryan returned to the University of Idaho in 1946 and entered its College of Law, graduating in January 1950. He was admitted to the Idaho State Bar in 1950, and returned to Weiser to practice law with his father, Frank D. Ryan. Ryan served as a deputy prosecutor of Washington County from 1951 to 1952, and was elected to the state senate in 1962 and served from 1963 to 1966. While in the Senate, Ryan took a particular interest in modernizing the Idaho judiciary and served as Chairman of the Joint Commission of the Idaho Legislature which instituted sweeping reform by reorganizing and modernizing the state judicial system, creating a court administration, and forming the Idaho Judicial Council. He also served as president of the Idaho state bar from 1967 to 1969.
