Henry Eugene "Harry" Tancred (25 May 1897 – 15 November 1961) was a rugby union and rugby league player and administrator who represented New Zealand at rugby league and Australia. He played 14 matches for New Zealand, 13 on tours of Australia in 1919 and 1921, and once in a pre-tour match against Auckland. He was an entrepreneurial businessman influential in meat wholesaling and exporting who together with his brothers, built Tancred Industries to become one of Australia's largest wholesale butchering firms. He was active in the thoroughbred industry as a racing administrator and racehorse owner.

Two of his brothers, Arnold and Jim, also played rugby union for Glebe-Balmain and Australia.

He married Myra Kathleen Bresnahan.
