Harold II (latinski: Haroldus II; 1022 – 14. oktobar 1066), poznatiji kao Harold Godwinson (staroengleski: Harold Godƿinson), bio je posljednji anglosaksonski kralj Engleske. Vladao je od 6. januara 1066. do svoje smrti u bici kod Hastingsa 14. oktobra 1066. Njegova smrt je označila kraj Anglosaksonske vladavine nad Engleskom.

Bio je član najmoćnije plemićke porodice u Engleskoj, a njegovog oca Godwina kralj Knut Veliki imenovao je grofom od Wessexa. Harold, koji je prethodno služio kao grof od Istočne Anglije, imenovan je na očevu grofoviju nakon Godwinove smrti. Nakon što je njegov šurjak, kralj Edvard Ispovjednik, umro bez djece 5. januara 1066., sastao se Witenagemot i izabrao Harolda za njegovog nasljednika; vjerovatno je bio prvi engleski monarh krunisan u Vestminsterskoj opatiji. Krajem septembra, porazio je invaziju suparničkog pretendenta Haralda III u bici kod Stamford Bridgea u blizini Yorka, prije nego što je dvije sedmice kasnije vratio svoju vojsku na jug kako bi se susreo s Vilim I kod Hastingsa, gdje je poginuo u bitci.
