Harry Storer (2 February 1898 – 1 September 1967) was an English professional footballer, cricketer and football manager.

Storer was born in West Derby, Liverpool, the son of Harry Storer. He came from a sporting family; his father was a goalkeeper for Arsenal and Liverpool and played cricket for Derbyshire, and his uncle Bill Storer played cricket for England and Derbyshire and football for Derby County. Storer was educated at Heanor Secondary School.

After leaving Storer played football for several clubs in the Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire area, including playing as an amateur for Notts County. He had trials at Millwall, but signed his first professional contract with Grimsby Town of the Third Division (North) in February 1919, a few months before the Football League resumed after the First World War. He played as an inside left or left half for Grimsby Town, Derby County, for whom he made more than 250 appearances, and Burnley.
