Harman's Cross is a small village on the Isle of Purbeck in Dorset. It is beside the A351 road between Swanage and Corfe Castle, with Langton Maltravers and Worth Maltravers to the south.

There is a railway station here but not on a network line: Harman's Cross Station is one of the intermediate stations on the Swanage Railway, a steam locomotive operated heritage railway. The railway links the tourist centres of Corfe Castle and Swanage with each other, and with a Park and Ride site at Norden station just to the north of Corfe Castle.

A new village hall opened in July 2010, achieved as a result of residents securing funding from various external sources.
