Harry Chapman (born Kiveton Park 1879, died 29 April 1916) was an English footballer, who played for Sheffield Wednesday in the early 20th century. He was the brother of Herbert Chapman, the legendary manager of both Huddersfield Town and Arsenal. Although Herbert went on to become a great manager, Harry was by far the better player, and put in a man of the match performance in the 1907 FA Cup final, which saw Sheffield Wednesday lift the trophy for the second time. He joined Hull City A.F.C. at the end of the 1910-11 season where he spent one season.

After retiring from playing, he had a stint as Hull City manager between April 1913 and September 1914; the club finished seventh in Division Two in 1913-14. He died at the age of 37, in 1916.
