Lawren Stewart Harris, CC (October 23, 1885 - January 29, 1970) was a Canadian painter. He was born in Brantford, Ontario and is best known as a member the Group of Seven who pioneered a distinctly Canadian painting style in the early twentieth century. A. Y.

During the 1920s, Harris's works became more abstract and simplified, especially his stark landscapes of the Canadian north and Arctic.
