Harvey Locke Carey (January 18, 1915 – January 8, 1984) was an attorney, United States Navy officer, and politician from, principally, Shreveport in northwestern Louisiana. He married Katie Elizabeth Drew of Minden in nearby Webster Parish.

Carey was one of three sons and one daughter born to attorney Gregory William Carey (1882-1965) and the former Willie Belle Locke (1885-1941). Though he was born in Parkin in Cross County in eastern Arkansas, Carey was living at the age of five, according to the 1920 census, in Earle in Crittenden County, also in eastern Arkansas. He was subsequently reared in Paris in Logan County in the western portion of the state. At Paris High School, from which he graduated in 1931, he excelled in football and was a Golden Gloves champion in boxing. In 1930 he was Arkansas Welterweight Champion and later in that year he won the Chicago Tourney of Champions Welterweight title. In 1931 as a middleweight, he again won in the Chicago Tourney. He spent time during summers in a government WPA work camp in Kansas at his father's insistence to learn the value of hard work and persistence. Gregory and Willie Carey are interred at Oakwood Cemetery in Paris, Arkansas. Carey's older brother, PFC William Gregory Carey, was killed in action aboard the HMT Rohna, in the greatest loss of life, at sea, for the American military in World War II.
