Major General Halfdan Fenton Harboe Hertzberg (born 3 September 1884) was a Canadian general and Commandant of the Royal Military College of Canada during the Second World War. He also served as Quartermaster General and Adjutant-General for the Canadian Army, narrowly missing the position of Chief of General Staff.
Hertzberg was a descendant of a well-known military family from Norway. He was educated at Upper Canada College and St. Andrew's College, before getting an engineering degree at University of Toronto.
Hertzberg's brother, Charles Hertzberg, was also a major general. They were the only two brothers to reach general officer rank at the same time in the Canadian Army.
