John Bradfield is generally known as the designer, but lately there has been some conjecture regarding the designer.
Excerpt:
"The controversy was never finally resolved, but when Bradfield retired in 1933, the director of public works stated that Bradfield was the designer of the bridge and that 'no other person by any stretch of imagination, can claim that distinction'. However, modifications had been made to the design after Freeman's visit in 1926, and in 1932 Dorman Long threatened to sue the government if it erected a plaque naming Bradfield as the designer. One informed view was that the 'detail design was entrusted to Lawrence Ennis who became first Honorary Member of the Institution [of Engineers, Australia] in 1932'. Professor Crawford Munro also considered that Bradfield 'did not design the Sydney Harbour Bridge which we now behold'."

The chief engineers name was John Bradfield. He did the first design and also the formal designs for construction.
Have a look at wikipedia, it's got a good page on the Bridge & it's histroy etc.

I couldn't tell you who designed it, but 2 years before it was actually built, I had a dream about it. I saw sticks and wind sails on a bay. I was only a child!
