Wally Harris (born November 23, 1935 in Montreal)[1] is a former National Hockey League referee. He joined the NHL's officiating staff in 1966, and he retired as referee 17 years later. In 1987, he became an NHL Supervisor of Officials until he retired in 2002.

Harris was the referee for the famous 3-3 tie between the Montreal Canadiens and the Soviet Union's Central Red Army team on December 31, 1975, a game fondly remembered and widely regarded as one of the best ever played.
