Bob Harris is a former BBC Radio 1 and current BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6 Music DJ, probably best known for presenting the long running BBC "serious" rock music show The Old Grey Whistle Test throughout the 1970s.

Nicknamed "Whispering" Bob Harris, his hippy-style beard and laid-back presentation made him a favourite target for parody, most notably by Eric Idle on the 1970s BBC comedy show Rutland Weekend Television.

Harris presents a miscelaneous alternative music show on BBC 6 Music, and a country music show on BBC Radio 2.
