Gene Harris (Benton Harbor, 1º settembre 1933 – Boise, 16 gennaio 2000) è stato un pianista statunitense noto per il suo sound caldo e blues e per il suo stile infuso di gospel, che è conosciuto come soul jazz.

## Biografia

Dal 1956 al 1970 suonò nel The three sounds trio con il bassista Andy Simpkins e il batterista Bill Dowdy. In questo periodo il trio incise regolarmente per la Blue Note Records e la Verve. Nella fine degli anni settanta si stabilì a Boise, esibendosi con regolarità al Idanha Hotel. Riprese i tour all'inizio degli anni ottanta; suonò quindi con il Ray Brown trio e in seguito si esibì con gruppi propri, incidendo principalmente per Concord Records.
