Henry Smith (July 22, 1838 – September 16, 1916) was an American millwright, architect, builder, and politician from Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He served one term in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing Wisconsin's 4th congressional district as a member of the Union Labor Party during the 50th United States Congress (1887–1889).
