Albert Edwin Harry (1903–1981) was an Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1920s.

Harry lived in Hurstville, New South Wales and played half-back in the lower grades for St. George in the mid 1920s.[2]

He played first grade three times in 1926 replacing an injured Phil McSorley. He was still playing reserve grade at the conclusion of the 1927 season.[3] Albert Harry and his family emigrated to New Zealand in the late 1930s.

Harry died at Waiha, New Zealand on 7 April 1981, aged 78 and is buried at Whangamata Cemetery.[4]
