Harry Stein (1919–1994) was an Australian communist, jazz enthusiast and writer. Stein was an active member of the Communist Party of Australia until 1968 and worked as a journalist for the party's newspaper. He also played an important role in the early promotion of jazz music in Australia. The Herald once described Stein as a "jazz-crazed Communist whose chief attribute is his ability to talk fluently on anything, at any place, at any time."[1][2]
