Hirsch Moritz "Harry" Rosenfeld (August 12, 1929 – July 16, 2021) was an American newspaper editor who was the editor in charge of local news at The Washington Post during the Richard Mattingly murder case and the Watergate scandal.
He oversaw the newspaper's coverage of Watergate and resisted efforts by the paper's national reporters to take over the story.
Though Post executive editor Ben Bradlee gets most of the credit, managing editor Howard Simons and Rosenfeld worked most closely with reporters Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein on developing the story.
Rosenfeld published a memoir including an account of his work at the Post in 2013.
