Parke Gerald Zinzan "Zin" Harris (born July 18, 1927, Christchurch, New Zealand, died December 1, 1991, Christchurch) was a New Zealand cricketer who played in 9 Tests between 1955 and 1965.
Harris had two sons who played first-class cricket: Chris Harris, who went on to represent New Zealand, and Ben Harris.
The unusual name of Zinzan - thought to be of Indian origin - is shared by several members of the Harris and related families: both Chris and Ben Harris have Zinzan as a middle name, and the family is closely related to former All Black Zinzan Brooke. It is also thought to be distantly related to English netballer Joanne Zinzan.
