Henry Stanislas de Lotbiniere Harwood (August 8, 1838 – August 28, 1911) was a landowner and political figure in Quebec. He represented Vaudreuil in the House of Commons of Canada as a Liberal member from 1891 to 1892 and 1893 to 1904.[1]

Born at the Manor of Vaudreuil, Quebec, the eldest son of Robert Unwin Harwood and Marie-Louise-Josephte Chartier de Lotbiniere (1803–1869), Seigneuress of Vaudreuil, the eldest daughter of Michel-Eustache-Gaspard-Alain Chartier de Lotbiniere, de jure 2nd Marquis de Lotbiniere.[1] His brother, Robert William Harwood, had also represented Vaudreuil in the House of Commons[1] and another brother, Antoine Chartier de Lotbiniere Harwood represented Vaudreuil in the Quebec Assembly.[2] He was a nephew of Pierre-Gustave Joly de Lotbinière and a first cousin of Sir Henri-Gustave Joly de Lotbiniere, Prime Minister of Quebec. His brother-in-law, Sir Henri-Elzear Taschereau, was Chief Justice of Canada.

He was educated at the Collège Sainte-Marie de Montréal, and afterwards at the Université Laval, Quebec City. He was the co-seigneur of Vaudreuil and became the Provincial land surveyor, later serving as the Mayor of Vaudreuil.[3] His Parliamentary election in 1892 was declared invalid and Hugh McMillan was elected in the by-election that followed; after an appeal, another by-election was held and Harwood was elected by acclamation.[1] In 1864, he married Marie-Josephine Sydney (1840-1912), daughter of Jean-Chrysostome Brauneis II (1814–1871), organist, composer and teacher - the first Canadian to study music in Europe (1830–33). They were the parents of Louis de Lotbiniere-Harwood and Josephine, the wife of William Rafael Kappelle de Kappelle, Count de Kappelle, of Belgium.[3]
