Harry Schachter or Harry Greenberg was an associate (and childhood friend) of Bugsy Siegel, and an employee of Charlie "Lucky" Luciano and Meyer Lansky. On November 22, 1939, Greenberg was murdered by Bugsy Siegel and his brother-in-law, Whitey Krakow. Siegel was eventually tried for the murders of Greenberg and of Whitey Krakow, whom he had killed later; he was not convicted.

Greenberg was depicted by actor Elliot Gould in the 1991 film "Bugsy".
