Henry Ulrick Lascelles, 5th Earl of Harewood GCVO DL (21 August 1846 – 6 October 1929) was a British peer and the son of Henry Lascelles, 4th Earl of Harewood.
As a child, he lived at Goldsborough Hall in Goldsborough, North Yorkshire, which was the house for the heirs-in-waiting for Harewood House. During his lifetime the Lascelles family were still major landholders in Barbados.

On October 29, 1881, he married Lady Florence Bridgeman, daughter of Orlando Bridgeman, 3rd Earl of Bradford, and they had three children:
