Henry Demarest Lloyd (1847 - 1903) was a 19th century American progressive, and a muckraking journalist. He worked for the Chicago Tribune from 1872 to 1885.^[1]^[2] He has been called "the father of investigative journalism" for his ground-breaking work.^{[citation needed]}

Lloyd attended St. Mark's School and Columbia College, followed by Columbia Law School.

A staunch Free Trade advocate, Lloyd's exposés of John D. Rockefeller's Standard Oil Trust, beginning with his March 1881 article in The Atlantic Monthly and more fully described in his 1894 book Wealth Against Commonwealth, precedes Ida Tarbell's more famous 1904 work "The History of Standard Oil" by several years.

In recognition of Lloyd's work, the Center for Investigative Reporting launched the Henry Demarest Lloyd Investigative Fund in 2009 to provide grants to investigative journalists.^[3]
