Harry "Red" Seidelson (born Pinicus Hersch Seidelson; August 13, 1901 – July 4, 1986) was a Romanian-born American professional football player.

He grew up in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and played college football for the Pittsburgh Panthers under Pop Warner, earning acclaim as one of their greatest guards at the time. After a brief coaching stint, Seidelson played professional football for the Frankford Yellow Jackets and Akron Indians of the National Football League (NFL) in 1925 and 1926. He also had stints with the non-NFL Pittsburgh Lyceum and Toronto Tigers. During and after his playing career, Seidelson worked as a dentist in Pittsburgh.
