Henry James "Harry" Kadwell (1902–1999) was an Australian professional rugby league footballer of the 1920s and 1930s. An Australian international and New South Wales interstate representative fullback who later moved to the-halves, he played his club football for South Sydney with whom he won the 1927 and 1928 NSWRFL premierships, and later St. George whom he captain-coached to the 1933 grand final.
A South Sydney junior from the Redfern United Club, Kadwell first played for the Rabbitohs in the first grade NSWRFL premiership in 1927. At the end of his first season he played at fullback in Souths' win over Western Suburbs in the grand final. The following year he was first selected in the New South Wales rugby league team and again won a premiership with Souths, this time playing at five-eighth and scoring two tries. In 1929 Kadwell moved to halfback and was selected in this position for the 1929–30 Kangaroo tour of Great Britain, becoming Kangaroo No. 163. On the tour he played in eight matches, but no tests. Following the residential qualification rules of the time, Kadwell was forced to leave Souths in 1930.
Kadwell became St. George's captain-coach for the 1931 NSWRFL season and was also the club's top point scorer in first grade. While representing New South Wales against England early in the 1932 season, Kadwell broke his leg. ending his season and Arthur 'Snowy' Justice took over as St. George captain (and would later become coach and secretary of the club).
