Harry Warnecke (August 26, 1900 – February 1984) was an American photographer who worked for the New York Daily News, specializing in color portraits for its Sunday edition. From the mid-1930s, he and his assistants at his studio used the complicated color carbro process to produce full color photos of many notables of the time, including Louis Armstrong, Lucille Ball, George S. Patton, Dwight D. Eisenhower, among others. Twenty-four of the prints developed at his studio are now on permanent display at the National Portrait Gallery in Washington, D.C.
