Harold Fleming (April 30, 1887 - August 23 1955) was a footballer for St. Marks F.C. and Swindon Town F.C.. Fleming was an Inside Forward and began his career at St. Marks before being invited for a trial at Swindon Town by manager, Sam Allen.

Fleming scored a brace in a 4-0 win over Salisbury City F.C. and was swiftly signed on a full-time basis.

Harold Fleming became a Swindon Town legend scoring 203 times in 332 games for Swindon and if it was not for World War I it is believed his career could have been more successful. He worked as a PE Instructor during the conflict.

Fleming's legendary status in the minds of Swindon supporters is cemented by a road named after the forward close to the County Ground named Fleming Way and a statue which stands in the club's foyer.
