Harold Abrahams, född 15 december 1899 i Bedford, Bedfordshire, död 14 januari 1978 i Enfield, London, var en brittisk friidrottare, idrottsledare och sportjournalist samt jurist.
Abrahams överraskande seger på 100 meter i Olympiska sommarspelen 1924 på tiden 10,6 blev den första OS-segern på denna distans för en europeisk löpare. Han arbetade senare som sportjournalist för BBC och Sunday Times.
Harold Abrahams och Eric Liddells segrar i Paris 1924 ligger till grund för den Oscarsbelönade spelfilmen Triumfens ögonblick.

Flag of Jamaica.svg
Flag of Jamaica. “The sunshine, the land is green, and the people are strong and bold” is the symbolism of the colours of the flag. GOLD represents the natural wealth and beauty of sunlight; GREEN represents hope and agricultural resources; BLACK represents the strength and creativity of the people. The original symbolism, however, was "Hardships there are, but the land is green, and the sun shineth", where BLACK represented the hardships being faced.
