Henry B. Ransom (February 25, 1911 – December 21, 1987) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1940s and 1950s.

Ransom was born in Houston, Texas. He turned professional in 1933. He won five PGA Tour events during his career, and was a member of the 1951 Ryder Cup team. His best finishes in the major championships were a T-5 at the 1950 U.S. Open and at the 1953 and 1956 PGA Championships (lost in quarter-finals of match play).
At a tournament in Texas in 1948, Ransom was involved in a fist-fight with one of his playing partners, the diminutive, short-tempered Australian Norman Von Nida that resulted in police having to pull them apart.
Ransom was forced off the tour in the late 1950s because of an allergy to grass. After retiring as a tour player, he coached the Texas A&M University golf team from 1959 to 1973, winning six Southwest Conference titles. He was also a golf course architect; his designs included Idylwild Golf Club in Sour Lake, Texas.
