Harley Harris Bartlett (March 9, 1886 – February 21, 1960) was an American botanist, biochemist, and anthropologist.
He was brought on as an undergraduate assistant at the Gray Herbarium, working under Merritt Lyndon Fernald and Benjamin Lincoln Robinson.
Inspired by botanist Hugo de Vries, he began publishing on the genetics of the genus Oenothera.
