Harold John Finlay (22 March 1901 – 7 April 1951) was a New Zealand palaeontologist and conchologist. He was born in Comilla, India (now Bangladesh), on 22 March 1901.

His main research interest was marine and non-marine malacofauna of New Zealand, both recent and fossil. He also specialised on fossil Foraminifera.

He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of New Zealand in 1939,[1] and was awarded the scoiety's Hector Memorial Medal in 1941.[2]
