Harry J. Bates (July 1890 – after 1912) was an English footballer who played in the Football League for Birmingham.[1]

Bates was born in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire. An outside right who never turned professional, he played football for Ravensmoor and for Coventry City before joining Birmingham in 1912.[2] He made his debut in the Second Division on 27 January 1912, in a 2–0 home win against Stockport County, and played once more that season[3] and once in 1912–13,[4] but failed to impress, and moved on to Walsall in the 1913 close season. Bates died in Birmingham.[2]
