Henry William "Harry" Mallin (1 June 1892 – 8 November 1969) was an English middleweight amateur boxer.
He came originally from Hackney Wick; later he lived in Dartmouth Park, North London and died at a nursing home in Lewisham.
Mallin was British Champion five years in a row from 1919 to 1923. He was also world champion in the middleweight class between 1920 and 1928. He never lost an amateur bout and never turned professional.
