Henry Charles "Harry" Kerley was an Australian rules footballer who played for Collingwood and St Kilda in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Kerley kicked two bags of four goals with Collingwood in 1915, amongst his 21 goals. He served overseas during the war and represented the Australian Training Units team in the "Pioneer Exhibition Game" which took place in London. Resuming his VFL career in 1921, Kerley played for St Kilda and kicked 22 goals for them that year.

The second stage of Kerley's career took place at Coburg and he captained them to three successive premierships from 1926 to 1928, the last as captain-coach. A centre half forward, he won Coburg's best and fairest award in 1929 and 1930.
