Harue is a Japanese given name, typically feminine, formed from haru ("spring; clear weather") + e, whose meaning depends on the kanji chosen. Common spellings include 春恵 ("spring blessing"), 春江 ("spring inlet/bay"), 春絵 ("spring picture"), and 晴恵 ("clear-sky blessing").

Used since the late Meiji through Showa eras, Harue feels classic yet modest; it saw mid-20th-century use and remains familiar today. While predominantly borne by women, it has occasionally appeared for men, as with avant-garde painter Harue Koga (古賀春江, 1904–1929). The name also occurs as a surname and place name (e.g., Harue in Fukui). Variants and related forms include Haruye (older romanization), Haru, Haruka, Harumi, and the kanji-variant Harue spelled as above; diminutives may be Haru or Rue.
