Major-General Sir Henry Mill Pellatt, CVO (January 6, 1859 – March 8, 1939) was a Canadian financier and soldier. He was involved in bringing hydro-electricity to Toronto for the first time. His château in Toronto, called Casa Loma, was the largest private residence ever constructed in Canada and became a landmark of the city. His summer home and farm in King City, Ontario, later became Marylake Augustinian Monastery.
Pellatt was also a supporter of the Boy Scouts of Canada. His first wife, Mary, was the first Chief Commissioner of the Girl Guides of Canada.
