Sir Henry Dixon Kimber, 2nd Baronet (1862–1950) was one of the Kimber baronets. His father, Henry Kimber, was the first member of parliament for Wandsworth, being created a baronet in 1904 after representing the area for almost 30 years.[1]

Kimber hoped to become Lord Mayor of London, but instead became Chief Commoner in which capacity he was responsible for the City of London's property holdings.[1]

Kimber's son by his first marriage was killed in the First World War. His second son was Sir Charles Dixon Kimber, 3rd Baronet who inherited the title in 1950.[1]
