Henry Kemble (1787–1857) was an English teabroker in successful partnership with his brother and Conservative Member of Parliament for East Surrey, England.
He was a retired, wealthy tea broker whose business was at St Antholin's Churchyard, Watling Street, City of London. This he conducted with his brother who left almost all of his estate to him in 1857, leading to combined death assets of over £500,000 (equivalent to about £60,200,000 in 2023).
He was elected to the Commons in one of the two seats for East Surrey as a Conservative at the 1837 general election and was re-elected until 1847 when he stood down.
