Beauchamp Bagenal Harvey (died 28 June 1798) was a barrister and a commander of the United Irishmen in the Battle of New Ross during the 1798 Rebellion. He was the eldest son of Francis Harvey of Bargy Castle, Wexford, who was one of the six Clerks in Chancery. Bagenal was educated at Trinity College, Dublin. He was a Protestant who was known for his liberal principles and as a supporter of Catholic emancipation. From June 1792 he was a member of the Dublin Society of United Irishmen, founded by James Napper Tandy and Archibald Hamilton Rowan.〔''Proceedings of the Dublin Society of the United Irishmen'' ed. R.B. McDowell (Irish Manuscripts Commission, Dublin 1998), passim. ISBN 1-874280-16-9〕 Just before the outbreak of the 1798 Rebellion Harvey was arrested at his home on 26 May 1798 at 11.00 p.m. A rebel colonel, Anthony Perry, divulged the information after giving in to torture by Crown forces. He was imprisoned at Wexford Gaol until its occupation by the rebels, and on his liberation he was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the rebel forces, perhaps against his will.〔() Leaders of 1798.

The attack had some initial success with two thirds of the town in possession of the United Irishmen. They quickly ran out of ammunition and were forced to rely on their pikes.
