Henry Neele (January 29, 1798 – February 7, 1828) was an English poet and literary scholar. The son of an engraver, he was born in London and educated there in Kentish Town, then working in an lawyer’s office.

He began publishing (anonymously) in the Monthly Magazine in 1814 and his first volume, Odes and Other Poems, appeared in 1817 when he was aged nineteen.

He delivered lectures on Shakespeare at the age of twenty, and others on the history of English poetry in 1826-7 (published posthumously) and on the romance of history in 1827. He produced an edition of The Tempest in 1824 as the start of an intended complete works.

He died by slitting his own throat.
