Harold John Robertson (born 9 April 1895) was an Australian rules footballer who played for South Melbourne in the VFL. His brother was Austin 'Ocker' Robertson.

Full-forward Harold Robertson kicked 38 goals in 1919 which was enough to top South Melbourne's goalkicking and he set a VFL record in their Round 12, 1919 match against St Kilda at Lake Oval when he kicked 14 goals, half of them in the final quarter. It easily beat the previous league record of 11 goals shared by Dick Lee and Jim McShane, not bettered until 1929 when Gordon Coventry managed 16. Robertson's 14 goal haul was also the first time that someone from South Melbourne had kicked 10 or more in a match and it wasn't until 1933 that it occurred again, with Bob Pratt achieving a mark twice in a season and then going past Robertson's tally the following year when he kicked a bag of 15.

Robertson played in South Melbourne's 1918 premiership team, kicking two goals from a half forward flank in their five point victory over Collingwood in the Grand Final.
