Henry Hawkins, 1st Baron Brampton (14 September 1817 – 6 October 1907), known as Sir Henry Hawkins between 1876 and 1899, was an English judge. He served as a Judge of the High Court of Justice between 1876 and 1898.

Henry Hawkins acted for the defendant in the "Tichborne case", which was a legal cause célèbre that captivated Victorian England in the 1860s and 1870s. It concerned the claims by a man that he was the missing heir to the Tichborne baronetcy. He failed to convince the courts, was convicted of perjury and served a long prison sentence.
