Härnösand County, or Härnösands län, was a county of the Swedish Empire, between 1645 and 1654. It was created by splitting the Norrland County into the Härnösand County and the Hudiksvall County, but just nine years later they were merged again as the Västernorrland County. The seat of residence for the Governor was in Härnösand.
It included the Provinces of Ångermanland, Medelpad and Jämtland.
