Henry Flavelle Forbes (1877 – 30 November 1959) was a member of the Imperial Civil Service who played a notable part in the modern history of Iraq.

He was born in South Dublin, Ireland, when that part of Ireland was still part of the United Kingdom. Educated at Wesley College (Dublin), he graduated from Trinity College, Dublin University, where he was a Senior Exhibitioner in History and Politics.

He was made a Companion of the Most Eminent Order of the Indian Empire in 1919 for services in the Indian Political Department "in, and in connection with, the Military Operations in Mesopotamia." As President of the Court of Appeal, he wrote a substantial review of one of the more significant civil laws that had been inherited from the Ottoman government.
