Harry Pilcer (1885–1961) was an American actor, dancer, choreographer and lyricist. He is mainly remembered for his association with French dancer and singer Gaby Deslys who may have been his wife.

He composed Deslys's waltz The Gaby Glide. As a dance team Pilcer and Deslys were contemporaries to Vernon and Irene Castle, Florence Walton and "Maurice", Dorothy Dickson and husband Carl Hyson, and Genevieve Lyon and her husband John Murray Anderson. Pilcer and Deslys would probably have been the top dance team in both America and Europe had not World War I intervened and Deslys's death from influenza in 1920. Pilcer also danced with Mistinguett and Teddy Bernard. After 1922 Pilcer ran a school of dancing in Paris.
