Henry James "Harry" Redknapp (born 2 March 1947) is an English football manager and former player. He is a football advisor to Central Coast Mariners and a director at Southern Football League club Wimborne Town.

He previously managed Bournemouth, West Ham United, Portsmouth (twice), Southampton, Tottenham Hotspur and Queens Park Rangers. In his second spell at Portsmouth, he managed the side that won the 2008 FA Cup. At the conclusion of the 2009–10 season he guided Tottenham into the UEFA Champions League for the very first time. Redknapp oversaw Tottenham's progress to the last 16 after defeating Werder Bremen at home. They topped their group ahead of holders Inter Milan, before defeating A.C. Milan over two legs to reach the quarter-finals.

His son, Jamie Redknapp, played under him at Bournemouth and Southampton. He is also uncle to Frank Lampard, who played under him at West Ham United.

Redknapp was born in Poplar, London, the only child of Henry Joseph William Redknapp (1922–1996) and Violet May Brown (1924–2001).

At the age of 11, while playing for East London Schools football he was spotted by Dickie Walker, a Tottenham Hotspur scout. From there Harry grew up in the Tottenham youth ranks playing at Cheshunt, meeting the likes of Bill Nicholson, Dave Mackay and Danny Blanchflower. At the age of 15 Redknapp moved to West Ham and played alongside Bobby Moore. In a 2008 interview he stated as part of a tribute to Tom Finney: "I was a big Arsenal fan as a kid and I remember seeing him play against Tommy Docherty one night".
