Kevin Harmse (born July 4, 1984 in Johannesburg, South Africa) is a Canadian professional soccer player currently plays for Toronto FC in Major League Soccer.

Raised in British Columbia, Harmse was drafted by the Vancouver Whitecaps in 2002 but transferred to Tromsø I.L. in the Norwegian Premier League (Tippeligaen). He did not see much playing time, so he returned to the Whitecaps in 2004, where he gradually worked himself to become a cornerstone of the Whitecaps defense, playing in 36 games and scoring once.

Harmse played an important part of Canadian U-20 team that made it to the quarterfinals in the 2003 FIFA World Youth Championship. He also played for the U-23 team that failed to qualify for the 2004 Olympics.

He then signed for FC Nitra of the Slovakian Corgoň Liga. He left the club in January 2007 and soon went on trial with the Galaxy. He made his debut with the senior Canadian national team March 25, 2007 against Bermuda.

Harmse signed with Los Angeles in April and made his debut for the club on April 12, coming on at halftime against FC Dallas. He scored his first goal for the club in his 3rd match, finding the net in the 17th minute of an April 28th match against Chivas USA.

He was traded in March, 2008, to Toronto FC for a fourth round draft pick.
