Georgia Elma Harkness (1891–1974) was an American Methodist theologian and philosopher. Harkness has been described as one of the first significant American female theologians and was important in the movement to legalize the ordination of women in American Methodism.

Harkness was born on April 21, 1891, in Harkness, New York, a town named after her grandfather, to J. Warren and Lillie (née Merrill) Harkness.{{sfn|Keller|2005|p=1024}} In 1912, she completed her undergraduate education at Cornell University, which had begun admitting women in 1872.{{sfn|Keller|2005|pp=1024–1025}} At Cornell, she came under the influence of James Edwin Creighton.{{sfn|Keller|2005|pp=1024–1025}} She spent several years as a high school teacher before enrolling at Boston University, from which she would receive a Master of Religious Education degree and a Master of Arts degree in philosophy in 1920.{{sfn|Keller|2005|p=1025}} She completed her doctoral studies in philosophy at Boston University in 1923 with the submission of a dissertation titled The Philosophy of Thomas Hill Green, with Special Reference to the Relations Between Ethics and the Philosophy of Religion, which was written under the supervision of the Boston personalist philosopher Edgar S. Brightman.{{sfnm |1a1=Harkness |1y=1923 |2a1=Keller |2y=2005 |2p=1025 |3a1=Moore |3y=2015 |3pp=137–138}}

Harkness served on the faculty of Elmira College from 1923 to 1937 and of Mount Holyoke College from 1937 to 1939.{{sfn|Keller|2005|p=1026}} Professor of applied theology at Garrett Biblical Institute (1939–1950) and the Pacific School of Religion (1950–1961), she was the first woman to obtain full professorship in an American theological seminary,{{sfn|Stulken|1981|p=512}} and became a leading figure in the modern ecumenical movement.{{sfn|VanGilder|2016|p=1043}} She became the first female member of the American Theological Society.{{sfn|Dorrien|2003|p=357}}

Harkness had an affinity for ministry through poetry and the arts. Her theological interests centered on the influence of the ecumenical church, eschatology, applied theological thought, and a desire for all persons to understand the Christian faith. She made clear a distaste for the doctrine of original sin, saying that "the sooner it disappears, the better it is for theology."{{citation needed|date=February 2019}}

Harkness died on August 21, 1974, in Claremont, California.{{sfn|Keller|2005|p=1028}}
