Harry Haddon (1871 – after 1896) was an English professional footballer who played in the Football League for Small Heath.[1]

Haddon was born in Pelsall, Staffordshire. A bustling centre forward, he played local football for Pelsall Villa and Lichfield Barracks before joining Small Heath.[2] He made his debut in the First Division on 22 February 1896 in a 4–1 defeat at Bolton Wanderers, and scored twice in the next four games,[3] but the selectors preferred Jack Jones. Haddon died in Walsall, Staffordshire.[2]
