Ryan Harley (born 22 January 1985, in Bristol, England) is a professional English footballer currently playing as a midfielder for Exeter City.

Harley started his career with Bristol City, as a youngster, apprentice, and then professional. He made 3 appearances for the Bristol City first team, for whom he made his debut versus Port Vale in 2003.

He then spent one month on loan at Conference National side Forest Green Rovers, whilst Gary Owers was in charge.

Harley signed for Weston-super-Mare in October 2006 from Bristol City. An all round talent, he was spotted by former manager Frank Gregan. Harley eventually left the club to sign with Exeter City in November 2007, stating his desire to be a full-time professional. He made his Exeter debut against Rushden & Diamonds in the FA Trophy on 12 January 2008.

Ryan states that his career highlight to date is playing in the Bristol City side that beat Bristol Rovers 5-1 in the Gloucestershire County Cup Final.

Harley recently scored a great goal in the second leg of Exeter's play-off semi-final against Torquay United to spark a City comeback.
