Harald Bothner (30 November 1850 – 24 October 1924) was a Norwegian politician for the Liberal Party, born in Halden.[1] He was a district stipendiary magistrate by profession.[2] From 1878–80 he worked as a solicitor in Sarpsborg, before moving to Halden. Bothner became a District Attorney in Stavanger in 1889, and a judge in Stjør- og Verdal district court in 1896.[1] He entered into national politics in 1903, when he was elected a member of the Norwegian parliament for northern Trondheim for the period 1903-06.[1] Bothner was appointed member of the Council of State Division in Stockholm in 1905, and served as Minister of Auditing later the same year.[2] On 27 November 1905 he was made Minister of Justice in the coalition government of Christian Michelsen, a position he held until the cabinet's dissolution in 1907.[3] After retiring from the government he was County Governor of Sør-Trøndelag until 1921.[1]
