Henry Cowper (died 1887)

Henry Cowper was a British solicitor and Liberal Party politician. He served as Member of Parliament (MP) for Hertfordshire from 1865 to 1885.

Born into a prominent Hertfordshire family, Cowper practiced law as a solicitor before entering politics. His parliamentary career was marked by a commitment to Liberal principles, though specific details of his legislative contributions are not widely documented. He was succeeded as MP for Hertfordshire by Abel Smith in 1885 after the constituency was divided under the Redistribution of Seats Act.

Cowper died in 1887. His family connections and representation of Hertfordshire mark him as a figure of local and regional importance in 19th-century British politics.
