Harlow Phelps Rothert (April 1, 1908 – August 13, 1997) was an American athlete who competed mainly in the shot put.

Rothert attended Stanford University, where he competed in basketball, football, and track and field.

He won the NCAA shot put title three times, and set a world record for the event in 1930.

Around that time he had an acute inflammation in his legs and had to practice every day to cover the targeted 2 km distance using a specially designed walker.
