The Welsh Harlequin is a British breed of domestic duck, bred from 1949 in Hertfordshire by Leslie Bonnet from two colour mutations he found in his flock of Khaki Campbell ducks. The new birds were initially known as Honey Campbells, and were renamed Welsh Harlequin after Bonnet moved with his family to Wales. Despite the name, the breed has no connection to the wild harlequin duck species Histrionicus histrionicus.
