Henry Clarke Jollye (12 October 1841 – 17 December 1902) was an English first-class cricketer, educator and clergyman.

The son of Hunting Jollye, he was born in October 1841 at Broome, Norfolk. He was educated at Bradfield College,[1] matriculating at Merton College, Oxford in 1861, and graduating B.A. in 1866, M.A. in 1873. While studying at Oxford, he made a single appearance in first-class cricket for Oxford University against the Gentlemen of England at Lord's in 1862.[2] Batting once in the match, he was dismissed without scoring by Henry Arkwright in the Oxford first-innings.[3]

After graduating B.A. from Oxford, Jollye took holy orders in the Church of England and returned to Bradfield College in the capacity of assistant master from 1867.[4] He died in December 1902 at Walton, Wiltshire.
