Horace Wass (born August 26, 1903) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman who played for Derbyshire during the 1929 season.

A native of Derbyshire, Wass appeared in one match for Derbyshire against Glamorgan during the 1929 season, in which the Welsh club finished bottom of the County Championship. Though he was not to appear again for Derbyshire, he became a leading light in the days of pre-war Scottish cricket, making his first appearances during 1935, and further appearances against teams assembled by Sir Julien Cahn between 1935 and 1937. He appeared for Scotland eight times in total.

Wass was a right-handed batsman. He was also a keen footballer, who played for Chesterfield, Southport, Gainsborough Trinity and Chelmsford City, making over 400 football league appearances.
