Jeff Harvey (born 1957 in Toronto, Canada) is a Senior Scientist in the Department of Multitrophic Interactions at the [http://www.nioo.knaw.nl/ Netherlands Institute of Ecology] , and formerly an associate editor of "Nature".

Harvey specializes in research concerning:
* Intra-interspecific variation in plant quality and its effects on herbivores, parasitoids and hyperparasitoids; linking above- and below ground multitrophic interactions via plant defense.
* Life-history, foraging and developmental strategies in hyperparasitoids.
* Spatial and temporal effects on multitrophic interactions.
* Science, ecology and advocacy.

Harvey criticised Bjørn Lomborg and Lomborg's book "The Skeptical environmentalist", and was one of those who took Lomborg to the DCSD.
