Harry Lambert Gaspar (April 28, 1883 – May 14, 1940) was an American professional baseball player. He was a right-handed pitcher over parts of four seasons (1909–1912) with the Cincinnati Reds. For his career, he compiled a 46–48 record in 143 appearances, with a 2.69 earned run average and 228 strikeouts.

In 1909, pitching for the Waterloo Lulus of the Class D level Central Association, Gaspar helped the Lulus to the championship as he led the Central Association in wins with a 32–4 record and a league leading 2.17 ERA.[1] Gaspar made his major league debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 1909, after his Central Association season.[2]

During his major league career, Gaspar operated a photography business called Gaspar Studio in Le Mars, Iowa. Later, Gaspar later co-owned and managed the Gaspar-Anderson Bowling Alleys in Santa Ana, California, where he died in 1940.[3]

Gaspar was born in Kingsley, Iowa, and later died in Orange, California at the age of 57.
