Solomon Hardy (18 May 1863 – 5 July 1931) was an English cricketer who played first-class cricket for Derbyshire in 1898.

Hardy represented Derbyshire in one game during the 1898 season when he kept wicket against Essex. Derbyshire lost the match by a very large margin as the Essex batsmen notched up two centuries and two scores in the 90s before Hardy ended two of their innings with catches behind the stumps.
