Nick Harris, informally known as Harry, is an English motorsport commentator, journalist and author. He provided television commentary of live MotoGP coverage for the official MotoGP world feed between 1999 and 2017. He is known as 'the voice of MotoGP'.

During his 18-year run as full-time commentator, Harris became known for his uniquely enthusiastic and authoritative voice. He retired from full-time commentary after the final race of the 2017 MotoGP World Championship at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia, where he held his last post-race interview with multiple prominent riders at the time such as Valentino Rossi, Dani Pedrosa, Jorge Lorenzo and Marc Márquez. Since then, he still writes blog posts by the name of Nick Harris Blog before the start of each race, which get published on the official MotoGP website.
