Henry Pepys (1840 – 23 December 1918) was an English first-class cricketer and barrister.

The son of Edmund Pepys, he was born in 1840 at Marylebone. He was educated at Eton College,[1] before going up to Oriel College, Oxford.[2] Pepys played first-class cricket for the Gentlemen of Kent in 1861 and 1862, making two appearances for the Gentlemen of Marylebone Cricket Club at Canterbury.[3] He scored 32 runs in his two matches, with a high score of 16.[4]

A student of Lincoln's Inn, he was called to the bar in April 1864.[5] Pepys was married to Mélanie Jenkins, the daughter of Sir Richard Jenkins and widow of William Vansittart.[1] Pepys died at Hove in December 1918.
