Parke Gerald Zinzan "Zin" Harris (18 July 1927, Christchurch, New Zealand – 1 December 1991, Christchurch) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in 9 Tests between 1955 and 1965.

Harris had two sons who played first-class cricket: Chris Harris, who went on to represent New Zealand, and Ben Harris who played for Canterbury and Otago. The unusual name of Zinzan – thought to be of Indian origin – is shared by several members of the Harris and related families: both Chris and Ben Harris have Zinzan as a middle name.
