Henry George Dines (20 October 1891 – 1964) was a British geologist, who was best known for his work on the regional geology of Britain, and the metalliferous mining districts of south-west England.
His university study was disrupted with the start of World War 1, and he signed up for service with the Royal Naval division engineers in Deal, Kent, on 18 September 1914.
He graduated from the Royal School of Mines with first class honours in 1920, and was awarded the De La Beche medal.
