Wolde Sealassie Harris (born January 26, 1974 in Kingston, Jamaica) is a Jamaican soccer striker.

Harris played college soccer at Clemson University, leaving as the college's all-time leading scorer. He joined MLS for the first time in 1997, after spending 1996 with the Colorado Foxes, leading the A-League in goals with 17. Harris played three seasons with the Colorado Rapids, scoring 13 goals in 1998. In 2000, he was traded to the New England Revolution for draft picks. Wolde's best season with the Revs was his first, when he scored 15 goals. Harris would spend three and a half season in New England, before a trade to the Kansas City Wizards midway through 2003. He spent 2004 with Swedish club Bodens BK before coming back to MLS and Colorado in 2005. He was released by the Rapids following the 2005 season. In eight years in MLS league play, Harris scored 51 goals and added 31 assists. He signed for Salvadorian outfit Club Deportivo FAS in August 2006.
