Herbert Harper, also known as Harry Harper (1 February 1889 - 6 August 1983), was an English cricketer who played a single first-class match, for Worcestershire against Yorkshire in 1920. Batting at seven, he was bowled in each innings, for 7 and 3, and never played at that level again.
Harper was born in King's Heath, Birmingham. At the time of his death, after a fall at his home in Birmingham aged 94 years 186 days, he was the oldest surviving County Championship cricketer.
