This article is about Henry Frederick Baker, the mathematician. For Frederick Baker the film director, see Frederick Baker (director).

Henry Frederick Baker (3 July 1866 – 17 March 1956) was a British mathematician, working mainly in algebraic geometry, but also remembered for contributions to partial differential equations (related to what would become known as solitons), and Lie groups.

He was born in Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, England. He entered St John's College, Cambridge in October 1884 and graduated Senior Wrangler in 1887, bracketed with 3 others.^[1] He was elected Fellow of St John's in 1888 where he remained for 68 years.

In 1911, he gave the presidential address to the London Mathematical Society.
