Henry Watson Fowler (10 Maret 1858 ? 26 Desember 1933) adalah seorang kepala sekolah, leksikografer Inggris dan komentator tentang pemakaian bahasa Inggris . Ia terkenal karena karya-karyanya seperti A Dictionary of Modern English Usage dan Concise Oxford Dictionary , dan dijuluki sebagai "seorang jenius leksikografi" oleh The Times .

Setelah mengenyam pendidikan di Oxford , Fowler menjadi kepala sekolah hingga pertengahan usianya dan bekerja di London sebagai penulis dan jurnalis lepas, tetapi kurang sukses. Bersama adiknya, Francis , pada 1906, ia mulai menerbitkan buku-buku tata bahasa, gaya bahasa dan leksikografi. Setelah kematian adiknya tahun 1918, ia menyelesaikan karya-karya yang belum mereka selesaikan dan menyunting beberapa karya tambahan.
