Harold Frank Baker (4 May 1884 – 5 May 1954) was an English cricketer who played two first-class games for Worcestershire in 1911. He made his first-class debut in the same match as the slightly more successful James Turner.
Neither of Baker's two appearances were a success. He never reached double figures with the bat, and bowled a total of 23 overs without taking a wicket. He did manage one catch, to dismiss Gloucestershire player Arthur Nott.
Baker was born in Walsall, then in Staffordshire. He died one day after his 70th birthday in West Hagley, Worcestershire.

“Unpleasant questions are being raised about Mother’s Day. Is this day necessary? . . . Isn’t it bad public policy? . . . No politician with half his senses, which a majority of politicians have, is likely to vote for its abolition, however. As a class, mothers are tender and loving, but as a voting bloc they would not hesitate for an instant to pull the seat out from under any Congressman who suggests that Mother is not entitled to a box of chocolates each year in the middle of May.”
—Russell Baker (20th century)
