Harry Kirke Swann (18 March 1871 near Ewhurst, Surrey – 14 April 1926, Barnet, London) was an English ornithologist and author of books on birds.
He then attended Roan School in Greenwich, London, and finally had a private tutor in Brighton.
In 1913 Messrs. Witherby and Company published Swann's A Dictionary of English and Folk Names of British Birds.
He died on April 14, 1926, aged 55, as a result of surgery at the Barnet Cottage Hospital in London.
He further described sub-species of the African cuckoo-hawk (Aviceda cuculoides batesi, 1920), the collared falconet (Microhierax caerulescens burmanicus, 1920) and the gray-lined hawk (Buteo nitidus costaricensis, 1922).
