Harmon Caldwell Drew (February 16, 1889 – September 1, 1950) was a lawyer from Minden, Louisiana, who served prior to 1945 as the district attorney of Bossier and Webster parishes and then as a judge of both the district and the state appeal courts. His political career ended with his defeat by future Governor Robert F. Kennon. Drew's grandson, Harmon Drew, Jr., of Minden is a sitting judge on the Second Circuit Court of Appeal, based in Shreveport.
Harmon C. Drew was born in Minden to Richard Cleveland Drew, also a judge of the district and circuit courts, and the former Katie Caldwell (1859–1936). His paternal grandfather was Richard Maxwell Drew, a district judge and state representative. In 1818, R. M. Drew's father, Newett Drew, founded the Overton community, the first settlement in Webster Parish.
After graduation from Minden High School, formerly the Minden Male Academy, Drew attended from 1904 to 1910 Louisiana State University and its Paul M. Hebert Law Center in the capital city of Baton Rouge. He was affiliated with Kappa Sigma fraternity and the national honor society, Phi Kappa Phi. He played football for the LSU Tigers and was the starting left guard on the 1909 team. He participated in the first international game in Cuba against Havana University.
