Harry Butler (1887–1965) was a pioneer Australian rugby league footballer who played in the 1900s and 1910s.
Butler began his career for Souths in the first ever season of the NSWRL competition and played in South Sydney's first ever game as a club when they played against North Sydney at Birchgrove Oval.
Butler was a member of Souths first ever premiership winning team defeating Eastern Suburbs 14–12 at the Royal Agricultural Showground.
[2] South Sydney attended the game, kicked off to an invisible opposition, scored a try and were declared premiers.
Newtown won the premiership due to them finishing as minor premiers in the regular season.
