Harold (Hal) Masursky /məˈzɜːrski/ (December 23, 1922* – August 24, 1990) was an American astrogeologist. After leaving Yale University without defending his dissertation, he started his career in the early 1950s as a field geologist in Wyoming and Colorado working for the United States Geological Survey (USGS). In the early 1960s, he moved to the Astrogeology division of the USGS and began working at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. In the mid 1960s, he moved to Flagstaff, Arizona as a founding planetary geologist at the newly-constructed USGS Astrogeology Science Center. Throughout his professional career with the USGS, his work contributed to the mission of NASA in the areas of economic, structural, and planetary geology.

Masursky studierte an der Yale-Universität und arbeitete anschließend elf Jahre beim US Geological Survey. Er wechselte dann zur NASA und beschäftigte sich mit der Oberfläche des Erdmondes und der Planeten, wobei er verantwortlich für die Auswahl von geeigneten Landeplätzen für Landekapseln und unbemannten Raumsonden war. Während des Apollo-Programms war er Mitglied der Arbeitsgruppe, welche die Mondlandungen begleitete und anschließend die gewonnenen Daten auswertete. 1971 leitete er die Arbeitsgruppe zur Beobachtung des Planeten Mars mittels der Raumsonde Mariner 9. Vier Jahre danach suchte er die Landeplätze der beiden Viking-Sonden aus. Später nahm er an der E (de)
