Sir Harold Jeffreys,FRS[2][3](22. april1891–18. marts1989) var en britiskmatematiker,statistiker,geofysikerogastronom.Hans bog,Theory of Probability,der blev udgivet første gang i 1939, spuillede en vigtig rolle i genoplivningen afobjektiv Bayesiansk syn på sandsynlighed.[4][5][6]
I 1940 blev han gift med matimatiker og fysik,Bertha Swirles(1903–1999), og sammen skrev deMethods of Mathematical Physics.
