Harold Armstead Covington (born Burlington, North Carolina, 14 September 1953) American White separatist leader and novelist.

Covington became racially aware in high school in Chapel Hill, N. C. and joined the National Socialist White People's Party [NSWPP], successor to George Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party in 1972, while still a soldier in the United States Army. He served as editor of the party's newspaper WHITE POWER from 1972 to late 1973 when he left for Southern Africa, at that time under White rule. After working for Grinaker Construction in Johannesburg, South Africa, Covington joined the Rhodesian Army and served in the bush war until 1976, when he and two other Americans, Eric Thomson and Jeffrey Spencer, were deported by the Ian Smith regime for attemping to form a rightist opposition to what they and many White Rhodesians saw as a sellout by the Rhodesia Front government.

Covington was involved in the landmark Operation Skokie free speech case in 1978 and was one of the 35 National Socialists who went onto Daley Plaza in Chicago on June 25, 1978 to celebrate the successful Supreme Court decision.

He came to national prominence on the Nazi scene as in 1979 when National Socialists and KKK members were involved in a gun battle with the Communist Worker's Party in Greensboro, N. C. The Communist attacked a Klan motorcade with firearms and were repulsed with five dead Reds. Covington spearheaded the legal defense activities for the Greensboro 16 defendants and was widely credited with being instrumental in the acquittals in November of 1980.

In 1979, National Socialist Party of America members at the Chicago headquarters found "films, pictures and addresses of some little boys", as a result of which they caused the then leader, Frank Collin, to be arrested and sent to prison on buggery charges.

Covington is currently involved in the Northwest Migration, an attempt to establish a Homeland for all White people in the Pacific Northwest. He is the author of the Northwest Trilogy, a series of futuristic novels detailing a successful revolution in the Northwest and establishment of an all-White Homeland for all Aryan peoples there.
