Harvey A. Bennett, Sr. (July 23, 1925 – November 21, 2004) was a Canadian ice hockey goaltender who played for the Boston Bruins of the National Hockey League. He was born in Edington, Saskatchewan and married Diana Helen Sullivan (youngest of nine sisters). Of his six sons, Harvey Bennett, Jr., Curt Bennett, and Bill Bennett all played in the NHL. John Bennett played in the WHA, and Jim Bennett played in the IHL. His youngest son, Peter Bennett, drowned trying to save his pet dog.

Perhaps Bennett's most famous feat was surrendering Maurice Richard's goal that established scoring 50 goals in 50 games. This goal was scored for the Bruins' arch-nemesis Montreal Canadiens on March 18, 1945.
