Harry C. Knight (August 6, 1889 Jonesboro, Indiana – July 4, 1913 Columbus, Ohio) was an American racecar driver. He competed in the first two Indianapolis 500 races as well as two "pre-500 era" races at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in 1910, finishing second in a 100-mile race.[1] Knight and his riding mechanic Milton Michaelis were killed while racing in a 200-mile Championship Car race at the Columbus Driving Park, a 1-mile dirt oval, in July 1913.[2][3]
