Lieutenant General Sir Henry Knight Storks GCB, GCMG, PC (5 April 1811 – 6 September 1874) was a British soldier and colonial governor.

He served as an Assistant Adjutant General during the seventh of the Cape Frontier Wars from 1846 to 1847, and was subsequently promoted to an unattached lieutenant colonelcy on 15 September 1848.

[1] Promoted major-general, Storks superintended the British bases set up in Ottoman territory during the Crimean War, where he supported the nursing efforts of Florence Nightingale.

Grey's extremist views on the questions of the Colonial Empire, of emigration, of Home Rule for Ireland and the cause of the English poor were contrary to the interests of Gladstone's Liberal government.

Storks was rewarded with the newly revived post of Surveyor-General of the Ordnance and Grey returned to New Zealand later that year.

His stance on the Contagious Diseases Acts contributed to his defeat by the Earl de Grey in the 1874 general election.
