Harald Eriksson (or Ericsson, 22 September 1921 – 20 May 2015) was a Swedish cross-country skier who won the silver medal in the 50 km event at the 1948 Winter Olympics in St. Moritz.

[1] He had to withdraw from the 50 km race at the 1952 Games due to a high fever.

[2][3] Eriksson served in the Swedish Army in Umeå, but had good opportunities to train because his commander was also chairman of his skiing club.

He later worked at a sports shop in Umeå, together with his friends and rivals Gunnar Karlsson and Martin Lundström; the trio formed a successful relay team.
