Harry "Joe" Griffin (21 April 1873 – 26 September 1938) played first-class county cricket for Somerset in 1898 and 1899. As a slow left-arm bowler, he was employed as a professional by Todmorden Cricket Club in the Lancashire League before being recruited by Somerset. He played four matches for the county, but his bowling action was questioned, with suggestions that he was guilty of throwing. He continued to play club cricket for Street for many years after.
