Notiosorex harrisi is an extinct species of shrew from the subfamily Soricinae.
It is one of several extinct species of Notiosorex described from the fossil record and the specific epithet is a patronymic to honor Arthur H. Harris for his decades of work on the paleontology of mammals in the southwestern United States.[1]
