Walter Burton Harris (29 August 1866 – 4 April 1933) was a journalist, writer, traveller and socialite who achieved fame for his writings on Morocco, where he worked for many years as special correspondent for The Times.
He settled in the country at the age of 19, eventually building himself a fine villa in Tangier where he lived for much of his life.
His linguistic skills and physical appearance enabled him to pose successfully as a native Moroccan, travelling to parts of the country regarded as off-limits to foreigners.
He wrote a number of well-regarded books and articles on his travels in Morocco and other countries in the Near and Far East.
Harris also played a significant, though not always constructive, role in the European diplomatic intrigues that affected Morocco around the turn of the 20th century.
