Harold Young (1897 - 1972) was an American film director, editor, and occasional actor.
Born in Portland, Oregon, Young was active as a film editor from 1923 through 1934, working first on a series of George O'Hara short subjects under the director Malcolm St. Clair.
Young's best-known early directoral assignment is probably The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), starring Leslie Howard and Merle Oberon, one example of his occasional work in Britain.
