Henry ("Harry") Jupp (born 19 November 1841 in Dorking, Surrey; died 8 April 1889 in Bermondsey, London) was a professional cricketer, who was the opening batsman for Surrey County Cricket Club from 1862 to 1881. Renowned for his defensive technique, Jupp was known as "Young Stonewaller". One story told of Jupp is that once, after being bowled first ball in a local match at Dorking, he replaced the bails and continued his innings. When the umpire asked whether he was leaving, Jupp replied, "Not at Dorking, I ain't".
Jupp also toured North America in 1868 and Australia first in 1873/4 and then with James Lillywhite's side in 1876/7, which led him to play in the matches that became known as the first-ever two Test matches.
Outside of cricket, Jupp was originally a bricklayer, but became a pub landlord in 1875. In that same year, his first wife died, but he remarried a woman named Rose.
