Henry Edgar Hall FRS (1928 – 4 December 2015) was a professor of low temperature physics at the University of Manchester.

Hall was awarded a Ph.D. in 1957 from Emmanuel College, Cambridge with thesis title The rotation of liquid helium II.

In his last year at school, Hall won an Open Major Scholarship to Emmanuel College, Cambridge.

While waiting for equipment to be built, he wrote a paper explaining some apparently puzzling observations by Kapitsa of the force acting on a source of heat in superfluid helium.

[7] His growing expertise in experiments at very low temperatures led him to studies of the liquid phase of the light isotope of helium, 3He, especially in its superfluid state.
