Claude Lionel Harrison (September 20, 1886 – March 12, 1986) became the 44th mayor of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, after serving as the city's prosecutor[1] for forty years.[2]

The son of judge Eli Harrison and Eunice Mary Louisa Seabrook,[3][1] he was born in Victoria.[3] He was 64 years old when he was elected as mayor, serving from 1951 until 1955.[2]

In 1953, during Harrison's term as mayor, the Harrison Yacht Pond was built for use by model boats.[4]

After John Maitland Marshall, a librarian suspected of leftist leanings, was fired in 1954, Harrison stated that he would support the burning of any subversive books found on library shelves.[5]

Harrison died in Victoria at the age of 99.[6]
