Hugh Evelyn Wortham (7 May 1884 – 9 July 1959), best known as H. E. Wortham was an English biographer, journalist, music critic and writer.
Wortham was educated at King's College, Cambridge and received an MA in 1921.
He worked as a foreign correspondent, editor and journalist in Egypt, 1909–1919.
In June 1923 Browning sent a letter to Wortham requesting him to write a biography about his life.
It was reprinted and revised in 1956 under the title Victorian Eton and Cambridge: Being the Life and Times of Oscar Browning.
