Henry Lamdin Benson (July 6, 1854 – October 16, 1921) was an American politician and jurist in the state of Oregon. He was the 44th justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, serving from 1915 to 1921 on the state's highest court. He was chosen as Speaker of the Oregon House of Representatives for the 1897 regular session of the 19th Oregon Legislative Assembly, but a dispute between two rival factions in the House prevented the body from organizing for that session. (E. J. Davis was chosen as Speaker by the other faction.) Henry's younger brother was Oregon Governor Frank W. Benson.
