Harry Killick (13 July 1837 – 22 November 1877) was an English cricketer. Killick was a left-handed batsman who bowls right-arm roundarm medium. He was born at Crabtree, Sussex.

Killick made his first-class debut for Sussex against Surrey at The Oval in 1866.[1] Killick played first-class cricket for Sussex to 1875, making a total of forty appearances, the last of which came against Hampshire at the County Ground, Hove.[1] In his forty first-class appearances for the county, he scored 957 runs at an average of 14.07, with a high score of 78.[2] This score was his only half century for Sussex and came against Surrey in 1869.[3] With the ball, he took 6 wickets at a bowling average of 36.50, with best figures of 3/37.[4]

In addition to playing first-class cricket for Sussex, Killick made first-class appearances for other teams. He made a single first-class appearance for a Left Handed team against a Right Handed at Lord's in 1870,[1] a match in which he recorded his only other first-class half century with a score of 55.[5] In that same year he made a single appearance for the Players of the South against the Gentlemen of the South at The Oval, as well as making his first appearance for a United South of England Eleven against a United North of England Eleven.[1] He made a second appearance for the United South of England Eleven against Yorkshire in 1874.[1] As well as playing the game, Killick also umpired it, standing in nineteen first-class matches from 1873 1877.[6]

He died at Brighton, Sussex, on 22 November 1877. His nephew, Ernest Killick, also played first-class cricket.
