Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use New Zealand English Шаблон:Infobox cricketer Harry Clifford Ridley (1868 – 11 January 1949) was a New Zealand cricketer who played 18 matches of first-class cricket for Canterbury between 1892 and 1905.[1]

Harry Ridley was one of nine children of the Rev. Morris Samuel Ridley, who brought his family from Monmouthshire to Christchurch in the 1880s.[2] He was an opening batsman, reliable and with a strong defence, an excellent runner between wickets, and a good fieldsman who could also keep wicket. He played for the Lancaster Park club in Christchurch.[3][4]

Ridley's highest first-class score was 52 against Wellington in 1896–97.[5] He scored 46 (in an opening partnership of 123 with Len Cuff) and 14 not out when Canterbury beat Wellington in 1894–95.[6] His younger brother Archie also had a long career for Canterbury and represented New Zealand.

Ridley worked for 44 years for the Christchurch Gas Company, the last 40 years as sales manager until he retired in 1934.[4][7]
