Harry Pollard (1880–1968) was a Canadian photographer whose specialty was photographing First Nations (Native American) people.

He was born in Tillsonburg, Ontario, Canada. In 1899, young Harry arrived in Calgary, and opened a photography studio there.

In 1924, Pollard was press photographer for Associated Screen News, a subsidiary of Canadian Pacific Railway. He was hired to take promotional pictures of ocean cruises, and his job took him around the world 14 times.

The Harry Pollard photograph collection is in the Provincial Archives of Alberta, having been acquired by the provincial government in 1964.
