Harald Wapenaar (born April 10, 1970 in Vlaardingen, Zuid-Holland) is a Dutch football goalkeeper, who currently plays for Sparta Rotterdam.

Wapenaar has also played for Italian club Udinese Calcio and FC Utrecht, whom he left for Portsmouth in the summer of 2003.[1] He joined Vitesse in January 2005.

Portsmouth signed Wapenaar as competition for first-choice goalkeeper Shaka Hislop. However, Hislop's superb form and the emergence of young goalkeeper Jamie Ashdown meant Wapenaar struggled for games prior to his move back to the Netherlands. Until the 2006/2007 season, he was able to maintain his place in the first eleven at the Arnhem based club. In Pro Evolution Soccer 6 Wapenaar stands out as the worst goalkeeper you can have.

On 2007 he signed on loan to Sparta Rotterdam,[2] starting at the Eredivisie on January 21 against Excelsior Rotterdam.[3]
