Harry Dickason (16 December 1884 – 3 December 1943) was an English Royal Navy sailor and Antarctic explorer. He was a member of the British Antarctic Expedition, 1910–1913, serving with the Northern Party under Victor Campbell.

Terra Nova Expedition Dickason served as an able seaman in Campbell's party on the Terra Nova expedition. After the expedition's encounter with Roald Amundsen in the Bay of Whales, Campbell's intended "Eastern Party" was redirected and became the Northern Party. The six-man party wintered first in a hut at Cape Adare and then, after Terra Nova was unable to retrieve them because of heavy pack ice, spent a second winter in an ice cave on Inexpressible Island.

Later naval career Dickason remained in the Royal Navy after returning from Antarctica. He received the Polar Medal with clasp in 1913 for his service in the British Antarctic Expedition. His journals were later published as Penguins and Primus: An Account of the Northern Expedition June 1910 – February 1913.
