Henry Weston Cardozo (September 1, 1830 – February 21, 1886) was an American carpenter, cobbler, county auditor, shipwright, tailor, Methodist Episcopal minister, and Reconstruction era South Carolina state senator.

His father, Isaac Nunez Cardozo, was Sephardic Jewish of Portuguese descent.

[citation needed] In 1855, he married Catherine F. McKinney in Charleston, South Carolina.

In June 1858, he and his family (wife, son, mother, two sisters, brother-in-law, mother-in-law, sister-in-law, nephew) left Charleston aboard the steamship Nashville on the way to New York.

After the American Civil War ended in 1865, he moved back to South Carolina.
