Howard Francis Fox (March 1, 1921 – October 9, 1955) was an American professional baseball pitcher, who played in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Cincinnati Reds, Philadelphia Phillies, and Baltimore Orioles, in 9 seasons, between 1944 and 1954. During his playing days, Fox stood 6 feet 3 inches (1.91 m), weighing 210 pounds (95 kg). He batted and threw right-handed.
The year after Fox's last big league appearance, he bought a local tavern in San Antonio, while he pitched for the Missions of the Double-A Texas League; a month into the offseason, he was stabbed to death at age 34 during a disturbance at that establishment.
