Garon Harri (b. 6 June 1911, Riga – d. 27 April 2006, Jerusalem) – businessman and philanthropist.
In 1924, Harri Garon emigrated to the United States, settling in Portland. During the Second World War, he worked in shipyards to support his family.
A few years later, he became actively involved in business in the state of Maine. Among his ventures was the Graymoor Hotel, a long-standing central leisure destination for Portland and the surrounding area. He was also the longest-standing motel owner in New England and held substantial real estate and business assets in Portland.
A prominent member of the Jewish community, Garon was one of the founders of the Beit El synagogue in Portland. He was a generous donor to charitable causes and a committed Zionist. He played a significant role in the organisation and transportation of arms to the Haganah up until 1948.
