Harry Mears (30 April 1922 – 30 March 1999)[1] was an Australian rules footballer who played with Collingwood and South Melbourne in the Victorian Football League (VFL).

A rover, Mears made his way into the Collingwood team from the league seconds.[2] Mears played 19 games for Collingwood in the 1945 VFL season, but usually started on the bench, so he transferred to South Melbourne in 1946, seeking greater opportunities. He had a strong first season at South Melbourne in 1946, finishing as their leading goal-kicker with 32 goals.[3] He also polled 11 Brownlow Medal votes, the most by a South Melbourne player.[3] Mears spent two more seasons at the club and then joined Mortlake in the Hampden Football League, as coach.[4]
