Noel Sherwin Harford (30 August 1930 – 30 March 1981) was a New Zealand cricketer who played eight Test matches in the 1950s.

A neat right-handed batsman strong at driving and pulling but weak in defence and against spin, Harford came to prominence on the New Zealand tour to Pakistan and India in 1955–56, making his Test debut against Pakistan at Lahore, scoring 93 and 64.

[1] That debut, though, proved by some distance to be Harford's most successful Test appearance.

In England in the wet summer of 1958, Harford made his maiden first-class century against Oxford University, scoring 158, his highest first-class score, and sharing a partnership of 204 with his captain, John Reid in two hours and 10 minutes.

However, in eight innings in four Test matches that season, he scored just 41 runs and reached double figures only once, a gritty innings of 23 at Edgbaston in which he had to retire for a period after being hit in the face by a bouncer from Fred Trueman.
