John Kent Harrison is a television producer, director and writer.

Harrison was educated at Columbia University and at Appleby College in Canada.

Harrison is best known for his work in the international miniseries format.

The following year his Hallmark Hall of Fame production, William Faulkner's Old Man with Arliss Howard and Jeanne Tripplehorn won two Emmy Awards, the Humanitas Prize and the Columbus Gold Medal.

In 2009 Harrison was nominated by the DGA as best TV movie director of the year for his Hallmark Hall of Fame production of "The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler" with Anna Paquin who was also nominated for a Golden Globe in her role as Irena Sendler, a Polish hero of the Holocaust.
