Harry Elmer Barnes (June 15, 1889 – August 25, 1968) was a prominent American historian in the 20th century. A "progressive who had some classical liberal impulses," he was associated for virtually his entire career with Columbia University. Barnes at one time was held in high academic esteem as a revisionist historian but later lost credibility with historians by entering into the practice of Holocaust denial.
