Henry Foley, born at Wellington, New Zealand on 28 January 1906 and died at Brisbane on 16 October 1948 was a cricketer who played for Wellington and New Zealand.

Foley was a left-handed opening batsman and a fine slip fieldsman whose career was curtailed by ill-health. He played only one Test for New Zealand: the very first Test against England played at Christchurch in January 1930. He scored two runs in each innings as New Zealand lost inside two days.

He played for Wellington until 1937 and made 39 against Douglas Jardine's MCC team in 1932-33.

Outside cricket, Foley worked for the Commercial Bank of Australia. He had Bachelor of Arts and Bachelor of Commerce degrees.
