Harold Gordon Stacey (26 August 1911 – 28 March 1979) was a Canadian designer and silversmith, described as having been early in his career "Canada's foremost creator of individually designed household silverware."[1]

Stacey was born in Montreal to Frederick H. Stacey (1880 – 1940), an engineer, and Gladys Devlin (1883 – 1977), a journalist.[2][3] His family moved to Toronto, and he left school in 1928. He worked for IBM servicing machines from 1929 to 1932, and during that time studied metalwork at Central Technical School.

In 1941 he married schoolteacher Margaret Ellen "Peggy" Jefferys, daughter of artist C.W. Jefferys; they had two children (son Robert, an art critic and curator, and daughter Clara).[4]
