Harland and Wolff Heavy Industries är ett skeppsvarv beläget i Belfast, Nordirland. Varvet grundades av köpmännen Edward James Harland och tyskfödde Gustav Wilhelm Wolff 1861. Varvet kom att expandera kraftigt, och var världens största i början av 1900-talet. Omkring år 1900 var Harland and Wolff arbetsplats för tiotusentals människor. När den störste aktieägaren Harland dog 1894, togs företaget över av industrimannen William James Pirrie, som styrde företaget fram till sin död 1924. Det var under hans period de tre fartygen ur White Star Lines Olympic-klass byggdes, däribland RMS Titanic.

År 1989 köptes Harland & Wolff av norskägda Fred. Olsen Energy, 2018 namnändrat till Dolphin Drilling.

'Resolution' in Belfast. The highly unusual ship 'Resolution' in the building dock at Harland and Wolff in Belfast beneath the gantry cranes 'Samson' and 'Goliath' 599214 The ship is used in the construction of offshore windfarms and was in Belfast to collect turbine foundations that had been manufactured by Harland and Wolff for an offshore windfarm in the Solway Firth (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/south_of_scotland/7151034.stm ). Its unusual shape comes from the six 130m legs which, once on site, jacks the vessel out of the water and provides a stable working platform to construct windfarms at sea. See http://www.ship-technology.com/projects/mayflower/ for some technical info on the Resolution.
