Harry Leighton Cleverly (February 21, 1912 – December 3, 1968) was a college ice hockey and baseball coach for the varsity programs at Boston University for twelve seasons.

[1] Harry Cleverly came to Boston University in the 1930s, joining the ice hockey squad in 1935 and playing two seasons for the Terriers before graduating in 1937.

Beginning in 1949–50 Cleverly set the Terriers up to compete with the other national powers, making the recently created NCAA tournament the first chance they had.

After leaving BU, Cleverly agreed to coach a newly created ice hockey program at Babson College for the 1965-66 season before turning it over to his successor Dave Coleman.
