The Harbert Corporation was a construction, energy and investment company founded in 1949 by John Harbert III, B. L. Harbert and two engineers. The corporation continued John Harbert's construction activities, which he began after World War II. The corporation's first major project was a five-span bridge constructed in Autauga County.

The corporation expanded by investing in coal-mining leases, by developing oil pipelines, generating electricity, developing real estate and quarrying limestone in addition to major construction projects on five continents.

In the 1990s, the Harbert Corporation was split off into the B. L. Harbert International construction company, and the Harbert Management Corporation.
