The term harp ukulele is used to describe two different variants of the ukulele:
- an ukulele with unfretted strings extending from the body, essentially forming a miniature harp guitar
- an ukulele with an "arm" extending from the upper bout, often hollow to increase the volume of the sound chamber, which visually resembles a harp guitar but does not support added strings.
