Harold Butler Lusk (8 June 1877 – 13 February 1961) was a New Zealand cricketer who played first-class cricket from 1899 to 1921.

Lusk made his first-class debut as a batsman for Auckland in the 1899-1900 season, but it was not until his 16th match, in 1907-08, after he had transferred to Canterbury, that he scored his first fifty, 66 against Auckland in the first-ever match in the Plunket Shield.^[1] In 1909-10 he scored his first century, 102 out of a team total of 241, opening against Otago,^[2] and was selected to open for New Zealand in the two matches against Australia; he scored 83 runs in four innings. The next season, he scored 151 not out against Auckland, adding 148 in an unbroken fifth-wicket stand with Dan Reese that took Canterbury to their first victory in the Plunket Shield.^[3] It was also Canterbury's first Plunket Shield century. Lusk later returned to play for Auckland, appearing for the last time in the 1920-21 season, when he was 43, and made 43 (top score) and 31.^[4]

Lusk was the New Zealand Amateur Golf Champion in 1910.^[5] He was a schoolmaster at Christ's College, Christchurch, who taught at Rugby School in England on a teacher exchange in 1913.^[6] When he returned to Christ's College, he coached Tom Lowry.^[7]
