Henry Timberlake (1570 – 1625) was an English merchant and member of the Company of Merchant Adventurers of London, a trading guild founded in the early 15th century. Born in 1570, Timberlake eventually acquired enough capital to join the guild sometime before 1601. In addition to his business relationships, Timberlake became known for his travels in North Africa, Egypt, and Jerusalem in 1601, which he recounted and published in 1603. Accounts of his travels proved popular in England and were subsequently reprinted in several editions.
Timberlake later traveled to the English colonies in the Americas, where he purchased land in Virginia and Bermuda. He subsequently returned to England, where he died in 1625.
