Harriet Gunn (née Turner, 1806 – 1869) was an English illustrator and lithographer who specialised in illustrations of ecclesiastical art. Beginning as an illustrator of antiquarian books and travel writing, she produced portraits for publications and is noted for her personal project of reproducing medieval rood screens. She was also a writer, anonymously publishing a book on church polity and having her letters printed as a travel account.
