Henry ("Harry") Jupp (19 November 1841 – 8 April 1889) was an English professional cricketer, who was the opening batsman for Surrey County Cricket Club from 1862 to 1881. Renowned for his defensive technique, Jupp was known as "Young Stonewaller".

Jupp was born in Dorking, Surrey.

With Thomas Humphrey, he formed Surrey's first strong opening partnership.[1] Jupp toured North America in 1868 and Australia first in 1873/4 and then with James Lillywhite's side in 1876/7, which led him to play in the matches that became known as the first two Test matches.

Outside of cricket, Jupp was originally a bricklayer, and became a pub landlord in 1875. In that same year, his first wife died and he remarried a woman named Rose.

Jupp died in Bermondsey, London.
