Harry Pilling (23 February 1943 – 22 September 2012) was an English cricketer. Standing just 5 feet 3 inches (1.60 m) tall he had the distinction of being the shortest English professional cricketer of modern times.[1] A right-handed batsman, Pilling scored over 15,000 first-class runs for Lancashire, whom he played county cricket for from 1962 to 1982.[2]

One of his most memorable innings for Lancashire was an unbeaten 70 against Sussex, which helped secure his county's first Gillette Cup success in 1970.[1]
