Harold Boyce Budd, Jr. (born January 4, 1939) is a retired American competition rower who won a gold medal in the eights at the 1964 Olympics.

Budd graduated from the Yale University in 1961, and then joined the Philadelphia's Vesper Boat Club, winning with them national titles in the pairs, fours, and eights in 1964 and 1965. He also won a bronze medal in the eights at the 1965 European championships.[2] In 1962 he spent a year at Cambridge University in England, and won with them the Henley Royal Regatta in the eights.[1]

In 1980, Budd's home in Devon, Pennsylvania, was robbed; his Olympic gold medal was stolen and never recovered.[3]
