Will Harries (born 30 March 1987) is a Wales international rugby union player. He played for the Northampton Saints and spent time on loan at Bedford Blues. In June 2009 he was released by Northampton and joined Newport Gwent Dragons.

Harries was educated at The Cathedral School, Llandaff and Millfield, a school known for its rugby tradition.[1] He appeared in a LV Cup game against the Saracens for the Dragons in January 2010, in which he scored 2 tries and was named Man-of-the-Match. He was released by Newport Gwent Dragons at the end of the 2013-14 season.

In May 2010 he was added to the Wales national rugby union team standby list for the summer matches and subsequently called into the full squad due to injury to Shane Williams.[2] He made his international debut versus New Zealand in Hamilton on 26 June 2010.

He has also been selected for the Wales national rugby sevens team squad.
