Harry Thornber (9 November 1851 – 28 July 1913) was an English cricketer. Born at Manchester, Lancashire, he was a right-handed batsman who made one appearance in first-class cricket.

Thornber played his club cricket for Manchester and Sale,[1] before making his appearance in first-class cricket for Lancashire in 1874 against Kent at Maidstone.[2] He opened the batting alongside Dick Barlow in Lancashire's first-innings, but was dismissed for a duck by James Fellowes, while in their second-innings he batted lower in the order, but was again dismissed for a duck, this time run out.[3] He was described as a steady middle order batsman with a sound defence.[1]

Outside of playing cricket, Thornber was a merchant, trading with the East Indies.[1] He died at St Pancras, London on 28 July 1913.
