Harald Julius von Bosse (28 September 1812 – 10 March 1894; Гаральд Юлиус Боссе) was a 19th-century architect and painter. He was descended from a Germano-Baltic noble family and was a subject of the Russian Empire.

He was born in Lievburg nearby Saint Petersburg. He studied at Darmstadt and moved to Saint Petersburg in 1831. He worked in Alexander Brullov's studio and was made a free painter in the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1832, an academician there in 1839 and a professor there in 1854.
