Harlow Giles Unger (born August 3, 1931) is an author and historian who has experience as a journalist, broadcaster, and educator, having written the three-volume Encyclopedia of American Education.

Prior to becoming a biographer, Unger was a journalist for the New York Herald Tribune Overseas News Service in Paris, and later worked in both Britain and Canada.
