Harry Zacariah Finch (born 10 February 1995) is an English cricketer who plays for Kent County Cricket Club. He is a right-handed batsman who bowls right-arm medium-fast. Finch played for Sussex between 2013 and 2020 before signing for Kent in 2021, initially on a short-term contract.

Finch was part of age-group sides at Sussex from the age of 10[1] and made his senior debut in a List A match against the Netherlands on 20 May 2013.[2] He was released by Sussex at the end of the 2020 season[3] and played for Kent's Second XI during the early months of the 2021 season.[4] He made his senior debut for Kent following a member of the county's First XI squad testing positive for COVID-19 which required the players involved in the county's previous match to all self-isolate.[5] [6] As a result, a number of Second XI players or "homegrown prospects"[5] were drafted into the squad and made their senior debuts for the county. On 10 August 2022, Finch re-joined Kent for the remainder of the One-Day Cup as cover for a number of players absent due to injuries and The Hundred.[7] He has also played Australian Grade cricket for Yarraville Cricket Club.

Finch was born at Hastings in Sussex in 1995 and was educated at St Richard's Catholic College in Bexhill-on-Sea and Eastbourne College.[4] His father, Jason, played for Sussex's Second XI and List A and Minor Counties Trophy cricket for Sussex Cricket Board.[8]
