Harry B. Lachman (June 29, 1886 - March 19, 1975) was a American artist, set designer, and film director.

Born La Salle, Illinois, Lachman was educated at the University of Michigan before becoming a magazine illustrator. In 1911, he emigrated to Paris where he earned a substantial reputation as a post impressionist painter and was awarded the Légion d'Honneur by the French government.

Lachman's interest in motion pictures stemmed from his position as a set designer in Nice, leading to work on Mare Nostrum in 1925. He worked as a director in France and England before settling in Hollywood in 1933. His credits include Baby Take a Bow, Dante's Inferno, Our Relations, and Dr. Renault's Secret.

Lachman returned to painting in the 1940s.
