Harry George Sperling (August 26, 1924 – July 29, 2023) was an American psychologist. He worked on the visual perception of colour and the physiological basis of colour vision in humans and monkeys. Sperling took a systems approach to understand how colour is processed in the retina. He applied his basic research to characterization of colour blindness and to intense light effects.
