Harry N. Ockerman (December 20, 1902 – September 30, 1979) was an American football, basketball, and baseball player and coach.

In 1951, Ockerman's second, and final, year coaching the MSNC Hurons, the press reported rumors that the football players had been "doped" with novocain to allow them to play through injuries.
