Harry Chidgey (25 July 1879 – 16 November 1941) was a first-class cricketer who played for Somerset as a wicketkeeper between 1900 and 1921, and a Test match umpire.

[2] He played as a professional cricketer for Somerset as a lower-order batsman and wicketkeeper and made his debut in the game against Gloucestershire in 1900.

[6] Chidgey batted normally at No 11 throughout his first-class career, but his highest score came in the 1909 season when he was sent in as nightwatchman at No 3 against Yorkshire at Bath and made 45, his partnership with the dour Len Braund enabling Somerset to draw the match.

In 1925 and 1926, he was on the first-class umpires' list, and he was picked, alongside Sailor Young, for the fourth Test between England and Australia on the 1926 tour; the game, at Manchester, was ruined by rain with less than two full innings completed.

In his obituary in the 1942 edition of Wisden Cricketers' Almanack, Chidgey was described as "rather small, quick and neat"; he had played for his local club at Flax Bourton from the age of 14 and was also involved in village affairs as a member of what Wisden terms "Long Ashton Urban District Council" (in fact, a rural district council).
