Luther Raymond Harvel (September 30, 1905 – April 10, 1986), nicknamed "Red," was an American professional baseball player, scout and manager. The native of Cambria, Illinois, spent almost 50 years in baseball, his career stretching from 1926 into the 1970s. A centerfielder during his active career, he threw and batted right-handed, stood 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall and weighed 180 pounds (82 kg). He appeared in 40 games in Major League Baseball for the 1928 Cleveland Indians.

During his 1928 MLB stint — all but one game of which occurred in August and September of that season — Harvel collected 30 hits in 136 at bats, with six doubles and one triple.
