Higbie can refer to several things:

• Higbie, Robert W. (1922-1978): An American chemical engineer who made significant contributions to the field of mass transfer, particularly in the development of the penetration theory for gas absorption. His work is widely cited and remains influential in chemical engineering.

• Higbie's Penetration Theory: A theory in chemical engineering describing mass transfer from a gas phase to a liquid phase. It postulates that the liquid surface is exposed to the gas for a short period, during which mass transfer occurs via unsteady-state diffusion. After this exposure time, the liquid element is mixed into the bulk liquid.

• Higbie Park: A park or place named "Higbie." Specific locations would need to be verified based on regional data.
