Henry Greenleaf Webb (January 24, 1826 – August 28, 1910) was an American lawyer, politician, and pioneer of Wisconsin and Kansas. He was a member of the Wisconsin Senate, Wisconsin State Assembly, and Kansas House of Representatives. He also served as a Kansas district court judge. For most of his career he was affiliated with the Republican Party, but at various times ran as a Democrat or Populist. In historical documents his name was often abbreviated as H. G. Webb.
His brothers, James H. Webb, William C. Webb, and Charles M. Webb, were also prominent lawyers and politicians. Their father, John Leland Webb, was a politician in Pennsylvania.
