Harry Wren (1916-1973) was an entrepreneur producing variety entertainment in mid-twentieth century Australia. He first worked in cinemas and built up a chain of movie theatres in South Australia before venturing into live entertainment. By 1947 he claimed to be operating variety theatres in Adelaide, Hobart, Launceston, Geelong, Ballarat, Broken Hill and Brisbane, and presenting shows at the Empire and Palladium Theatres in Sydney and the Princess and King's Theatres in Melbourne. He operated various enterprises: Harry Wren Theatres Pty Ltd, Celebrity Theatres Pty Ltd, and Celebrity Circuit Pty Ltd. His operations were outside the auspices of J.C. Williamson Limited and the Tivoli Circuit, although he sometimes worked in association with them.
