The Belfast Harp Society (1808-1813) and its successor, the Irish Harp Society (1819-1839), were philanthropic associations formed in the town of Belfast, Ireland, for the purpose of sustaining the music and tradition of itinerant Irish harpists, and secondarily, of promoting the study of the Irish language, history, and antiquities. For its patronage, the original society drew upon a diminishing circle of veterans of the patriotic and reform politics of the 1780s and '90s, among them several unrepentant United Irishmen. In a town, increasingly hostile in its sectarian division to Protestant interest in distinctive Irish culture, the society reconvened as the Irish Harp Society in 1819 only as a result of a large and belated subscription raised from expatriates in India.
