Harald Are Lund (October 8, 1946 - September 4, 2020) was a Norwegian presenter and radio DJ, formerly also a musician and record producer. From the radio, he was known for playing new, relatively unknown bands. He was among the first to introduce punk music in Norwegian radio and is considered by some to be the John Peel of Norway. He was behind a series of radio programmes including his own radio programme, "Harald Are Lund" on NRK P3. As a record producer, he worked for Vømmøl Spellmannslag, Junipher Greene, Jonas Fjeld Band and Can Can.

Peel invited Harald Are Lund to the BBC Studios in 1968 to speak to him about which English bands are popular in Norway and also about the Norwegian band, Difference, who he played a track from on his 24 July 1968 show after obtaining the single in the evening. Lund was also invited again on 31 July 1968 for Peel's show. Ken Garner's book, the Peel Sessions, mentions Harald Are Lund's name as Harry Lund.
