Harald Steen (April 2, 1886 – April 18, 1941) was a Norwegian tenor and actor.[1]

Steen debuted at the National Theater in Oslo in 1902 and remained there until 1908.[2] He was engaged with the Central Theater from 1908 to 1927.[1] With his spirited mood, smooth characterization, and excellent voice, he was a key actor for much of the theater's repertoire of comedies, operettas, and operas.[1] He made his film debut in 1916 in the Danish silent film Strandvaskeren. Harald Steen was married to the actress Signe Heide Steen, and he was the father of Randi Heide Steen, Harald Heide Steen, and Kari Diesen.[1]
