Henry May Dawes (April 22, 1877 – September 29, 1952) was an American businessman and banker from a prominent Ohio family.

With the assistance of a volunteer committee of national bankers, Dawes drafted proposals that were submitted to Congress.

In 1936, along with other oil company executives, he was indicted and stood trial for violations of the Sherman Antitrust Act.

Acquitted, he resumed his civic duties, serving as Program Committee Chair for the Economic Club of Chicago from 1939 until 1940, as well as on its board of directors, along with his brother Rufus.
