Henry Haight (1820–1869) was an American exchange banker and pioneer. He was the manager of the Banking House of Page, Bacon & Co. in San Francisco during the California gold rush era.

He is the uncle of Henry Huntly Haight (1825–1878), tenth governor of California.[1]

Haight Street, running from San Francisco's Civic Center through the Haight-Ashbury, is named in his honor.[2]
