Henry Havelock (1879 – 1923) was an English international rugby union player.

Powerfully-built, Havelock was a Hartlepool and Durham County player, capped three times for England as a wing-forward in 1908. He thereafter played rugby league, joining Hull in the 1908–09 Northern Rugby Football Union season.[1]

Havelock served in France with the Royal Garrison Artillery during World War I.[2]

Employed as a joiner, Havelock died of blood poisoning in 1923 after grazing his leg while working at Alexandra Dock.[3]

Havelock's son, P. H. W. Havelock, was a soccer player for several Football League clubs.[4]
