Harry P. Guy (1870 in Zanesville, Ohio – 1950) was an African American ragtime composer who lived in Detroit after 1895. After writing his first compositions in Ohio, he became one of the greatest contributors to ragtime music in Detroit, and was called one of the city's "unique and unusually gifted musicians."
