Harry Lovegrove Wright (4 April 1870 - 19 March 1950) was an Australian rules footballer who played with Essendon during the years following the formation of the VFL.

Wright made his debut in Essendon's inaugural VFL game in the 1897 season and also played in the first ever Grand Final the following year. A centreman, Wright finished on the losing team on that occasion but took part in a winning Grand Final in 1901 to go with the premiership he won with Essendon in his debut season.

As a cricketer Wright was a wicket-keeper and one of the three first-class matches that he played was a Sheffield Shield encounter, against South Australia in the 1904/05 season. He finished his career with three catches and five stumpings to go with his 49 runs at 24.50.
