Harold L. Lyon (born 1930) is a painter originally from Canada. He spent his youth working in the northern Ontario woods with his father before attending the Meinzinger School of Art in Detroit, Michigan. He also attended the Ontario College of Art in Toronto.

Lyon then taught art on his own CBC television series, worked in advertising, and illustrated on a freelance basis, including time working as an illustrator for the Hudson's Bay Company in Calgary, where he turned to painting full time in 1965.

Lyon's paintings feature realistic subject matter. Dynamic brushwork and vivid colour entice viewers to appreciate a Western painting on a purely artistic and visual level. Through his combination of authenticity and originality, Lyon's paintings appeal to a wide and diverse audience. His subject matter ranges from landscape and wildlife to ranches, portraits, and floral still lifes.

Lyon is most well known as a painter of Westerns and currently lives with his wife Katherine in Arizona.
