Horace John Foley (23 November 1900 – 3 July 1989) was an Australian medical practitioner and mayor of Glebe.

He attended Mudgee High School before studying medicine at the University of Sydney, from which he graduated in 1926.

He married Sarah Agnes May Farmer at St Joseph's Catholic Church in Rockdale on 23 November 1932.
