Harry Schein (13 October 1924, Vienna - 11 February 2006, Danderyd was an Austrian born Swedish writer and a major figure in Swedish culture. Schein was a founder of the Swedish Film Institute and acted as its first Managing Director from 1963 to 1978.

He is best known for his role in pushing through the film reform of 1963, which ensured that 10 percent of the money from cinema ticket sales was handed to a central film organisation. This system guaranteed continuous production of Swedish films for several decades.

Schein was often engaged in public debates and demonstrated a most innovative and progressive understanding of the use of media.

Schein was also a columnist in Dagens Nyheter for many years, and wrote several books on current issues. He also published several largely autobiographical books, including Schein (1980) and Sluten (1995).

Schein was married to the Swedish actress Ingrid Thulin from 1956 to 1989 and was a close friend of Olof Palme.
