Harry D'Amour is a fictional character created by English author, filmmaker, and artist Clive Barker.
D'Amour is a private investigator who specializes in cases involving the occult. His body is marked heavily by tattoos that confer protection against evil.
His first appearance is in the short story "The Last Illusion" in Barker's Books of Blood Volume 6. He later appears briefly in the novel The Great and Secret Show, then again in a short story called "The Lost Souls" (featured in an anthology called "Cutting Edge"). He returns as a major character in the novel Everville, and is set to appear alongside Pinhead in Barker's upcoming book The Scarlet Gospels.
In the BOOM! Studios Hellraiser comic series (2011), also written by Clive Barker, Kirsty Cotton receives some artifacts to help her combat the Cenobites. In the package is a note signed 'H.D.', although it has not been revealed if the package was sent by Harry D'Amour. If so, it may be an allusion to The Scarlet Gospels.
D'Amour was portrayed by actor Scott Bakula in the film Lord of Illusions (which is loosely based on the short story The Last Illusion).
