Henri Streicher CBE (29 July 1863 – 7 June 1952) was a French Catholic archbishop who served as Vicar Apostolic of Northern Victoria Nyanza from 1897 to 1933.

[2] In 1890, Streicher was appointed to the Apostolic Vicariate of Victoria Nyanza led by Bishop John Joseph Hirth, which he reached in 1891.

The next year Streicher, acting as head of the Roman Catholic mission since his death, was appointed his successor.

[2] On 1 February 1897, Streicher was appointed Titular Bishop of Thabraca and Vicar Apostolic of Northern Victoria Nyanza in what is now Uganda.

[1] He decided that he would not return to Europe to be consecrated, and was ordained on 15 August 1897 in the small church of Kamoga at Bukumbi (in what is now Tanzania) by Bishop John Joseph Hirth assisted by two priests.

The chiefs who had converted to Catholicism moved to Buddu, and treated him as both civil and religious leader, equivalent to a king.

He saw Catholic teaching orders as a potential threat to his authority, and did not allow them to enter the diocese until 1924, when the Canadian Brothers of Christian Instruction of Ploermel were permitted to launch St. Mary's College Kisubi and to open other schools.

[2]In 1913 and 1914 Streicher headed a commission charged with assembling the testimonials needed to beatify the Uganda Martyrs.

[4] Streicher pushed hard to prepare for the diocese to become autonomous from European assistance, causing resentment from missionaries who felt that more time was needed.

[3] In 1939, he assisted Pope Pius XII at the consecration of Joseph Kiwánuka in St Peter's, Rome.
