Sir Henry Goodricke, 2nd Baronet (c. 1642 – c. 1705) was an English politician and diplomat who served as Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance from 1689 to 1702.

The son of Sir John Goodricke, 1st Baronet, he succeeded to his father's baronetcy in 1670.

Goodricke also inherited the family estate of Ribston Hall in North Yorkshire and in 1674 replaced it with a new stately home.

During the Glorious Revolution of 1688, he acted as the Earl of Danby's lieutenant in Northern England in support of the revolution and was rewarded by the new Williamite regime with the office of Lieutenant-General of the Ordnance, a post which he held until 1702.
