Harald William Baker (29 September 1882 – 17 October 1962) was a rugby union player who represented Australia.
Baker, a flanker, was born in Paddington, New South Wales and claimed three international rugby caps for Australia. He was the brother of the multi-talented Australian sporting star Snowy Baker.[2]
Baker and Jimmy Clarken are remembered for their heroic rescues in the Coogee surf disaster of 28 January 1911.[3] In this context his name is often found misspelled as "Harold Baker".
