Sir Harold Beauchamp (15 November 1858 – 5 October 1938) was a New Zealand businessman and later two times chairman of the Bank of New Zealand.
He is remembered as the father of author Katherine Mansfield. Australian by birth he was brought to New Zealand at the age of two and eventually made Wellington his home where, still young, he turned a small importing business into a substantial enterprise.
He is believed to have crossed the Equator about 24 times travelling by sea to London maintaining business and banking contacts.
