Henry Boothman (5 February 1875[1] – 25 April 1953) was a British trade union leader.
Born in Clitheroe, Boothman moved with his family to Burnley when he was six years old, and he began working as a half-time in a local cotton mill when he was ten.
Around the same time, he won election as treasurer of the United Textile Factory Workers' Association and, in 1919, he was elected to the Parliamentary Committee of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), and continued on its replacement, the General Council.
Boothman served on the General Council of the TUC until 1936; during this time, he was asked to become chairman and President of the TUC, but he refused, on the grounds that this would require him to spend too much time away from the Lancashire base of his union.
He served on the Cotton Board during World War II, but resigned from all his posts in 1943, after suffering from poor health.
