Harald Bohr ( 22 April 1887 - 22 January 1951) was a Danish mathematician, and younger brother of the physicist Niels Bohr. Many friends remarked that the two men were unusually close, even for brothers. Early in the lives of the brothers, Harald was thought to be more likely to be successful.

Harald Bohr worked in mathematical analysis, founding the field of almost periodic functions, and worked with the Cambridge mathematician G. H. Hardy. Bohr was also an excellent soccer player; he won an silver medal at the 1908 Summer Olympics with the Danish national football team.

See also: Bohr-Mollerup theoremIn mathematical analysis, the Bohr-Mollerup theorem named after the Danish mathematicians Harald Bohr and Johannes Mollerup, who proved it, characterizes the gamma function, defined for x > 0 by : as the only function f on the interval x > 0 that simultan, Bohr compactificationIn mathematics, the Bohr compactification of a topological group G is a compact Hausdorff topological group H that may be canonically associated to G''. Its importance lies in the reduction of the theory of uniformly almost periodic functions on G to the.
