Henry Lesur (8 September 1875 – 5 July 1955) was a French football pioneer who was the founding president of RC Roubaix in 1895.

[1] On 2 April 1895, after three years of playing this sport in informal meetings, either on a field located near the Croix-Wasquehal station or later on a meadow belonging to the Binet farm, this group finally decided to take a step further and officially established the club under the name "Racing-Club Roubaisien", doing so in a meeting held at the Brasserie "La Terrasse", rue de la Gare (currently avenue Jean-Baptiste Lebas) in Roubaix, and Henry was chosen as club's first-ever president while his brother Ernest was named equipment manager.

[1] The founders' ambition was to create an "all-sports" club and so, just a few weeks after this founding meeting, the directors decided to purchase the equipment needed to practice shot putting, then to form a boxing section, in 1895 a tug-of-war team, and in 1897 they formed sections for pole vaulting and tennis.

[1] All these sports were considered, along with running, to promote the athletic development of the members of the football team, which remained the club's main asset.

[5] Following the 1903 final, in which Roubaix again defeated RC France (), Lesur, then vice president of the Nord committee, congratulated his winning players.
