Brigadier-General Henry Berkeley (after 1682 – 23 May 1736) was a British Army officer and Member of Parliament.

The third son of Charles Berkeley, 2nd Earl of Berkeley, he served as a page of honour to the Duke of Gloucester, and afterwards to Queen Anne. He obtained a commission in the Army in December 1709.

In June 1717 Berkeley was appointed first commissioner for executing the office of Master of the Horse to King George I, and on 25 December following he was appointed to the colonelcy of the King's Own Regiment of Foot, from which he was removed in 1719 to the Scots Troop of Horse Grenadier Guards. He was also one of the King's equerries, and sat in Parliament for the county of Gloucester. He died at Bath.
