HE Lagumot Gagiemem Nimidere Harris (December 28, 1938 - September 6, 1999) was a political figure from the Pacific nation of the Republic of Nauru, and served as President of the Republic of Nauru. He was a cousin of René Harris.

Lagumot Harris first served briefly as President of Nauru from April 19, to May 15, 1978. He was thus the Nauru's third head of state in the country's post-Independence history. In terms of Nauru's emerging post-Independence political cuture, the shortness of Harris's first term of Presidential office anticipated the very frequent changes of President to which Nauruans were to become accustomed, in contrast with the many years of Hammer DeRoburt's continuous first term of office.
Subsequently, a period of nearly twenty years elapsed before Harris assumed the Presidency of Nauru for a second term.
He was elected again, for a longer period of time, as President, between November 22, 1995, and November 11, 1996.
Much of Lagumot Harris's active involvement in political leadership revolved around issued surrounding the veteran Nauruan politician, Bernard Dowiyogo, who served as President of Nauru seven times. It may be recalled that, especially during Harris's periods of public office and political activity, Nauru's Parliamentary system did not have well-developed party organization.
He died in the city of Melbourne, Australia, on September 6, 1999.
