Henry Denne (1606 – c. 1660) was an English Puritan cleric of the Church of England, divine (theologian), itinerant preacher, and later, a religious reformer of Baptist views. Denne was a notable preacher and apologist throughout England by propagating baptism of believers only in contrast to the baptism of infants. He was vicar of Eltisley, Cambridgeshire and before that, briefly, elder of Coleman Street General Baptist church, in London. Denne was also sometime soldier for the Parliament and chaplain to Oliver Cromwell in the Civil War.
