Harold Palin (19 August 1916 – 16 September 1990), also known by the nickname of "Moggy", was an English professional rugby league footballer who played in the 1930s, 1940s and 1950s. He played at representative level for Great Britain and England, and at club level for Warrington (two spells) (captain), Swinton, Halifax and Keighley (captain), as a goal-kicking fullback or loose forward. Harold Palin's nickname of 'Moggy' was given to him as a child due to cat-like abilities, however he was not particularly fond of the nickname.
