Herbert Leo Price (June 21, 1899 - July 18, 1943) was an English rugby union player who represented the England national rugby union team. He also played first-class cricket with Oxford University.

Price, a flanker, won his first two international caps for England in the 1922 Five Nations Championship with appearances against Ireland and Scotland. In the Championship the following year, Price helped his country to claim the Grand Slam and scored tries when England took on both Wales and Ireland.[1]

The talented sportsman played two first-class cricket matches during the 1920s, both for Oxford University. He debuted against the Army in 1920, opening the batting and made 14 followed by a duck. His performance in his next match, against Middlesex in 1922, wasn't much better and he again scored a duck opening the batting but improved in the second innings with 32 not out. Price's brother Vincent was also a first-class cricketer and played beside him in the Middlesex match.[2]
