Sir Harry Morton Llewellyn, 3rd Baronet, CBE (18 July 1911 – 15 November 1999) was a British equestrian champion. He was born in Aberdare, South Wales, the second son of a colliery owner, Sir David Llewellyn, 1st Baronet.

A younger son, he only inherited the baronetcy on the death of his older brother, Sir Rhys Llewellyn, 2nd Baronet in 1978. His younger brother Sir David Llewellyn was a Conservative politician.

Llewellyn was educated at Oundle School and at Trinity College, Cambridge, before going into the army.

He achieved some success as a show-jumping champion during the 1930s, and competed in the Grand National steeplechase, coming second in 1936.

During World War II he saw action in Italy and after D Day in Normandy and served as a liaison officer to Field Marshal Montgomery, eventually rising to the rank of Colonel in the British Army.

After the war he concentrated on show jumping, buying Foxhunter in 1947 after a long search. The duo were part of the British team that won a bronze medal in the team event at the 1948 Summer Olympics, winning the bronze medal. They captured the public imagination for their role in winning Great Britain's only gold medal at the 1952 Summer Olympics, in the team jumping equestrian event.
