Harry A. Slattery (June 13, 1887 – September 1, 1949), was an American lawyer and politician. He was United States Under Secretary of the Interior from 1938 to 1939 and gave his name to the Slattery Report, which proposed to develop Alaska through immigration. The proposal, which included the settlement of Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria, largely in response to Nazi antisemitism, was never implemented.

The 1944 controversy between the REA and the Department of Agriculture over the administration of REA led to a Senate investigation. Slattery was involved in the passage of a federal coal and oil leasing measure, federal water power legislation, Alaska coal and home rule acts, and rural electrification legislation.

In 1940–1942, he was also Consultant to the power subcommittee of the advisory commission of the Council of National Defense.
