Lieutenant-Colonel Sir Henry Webb, 1st Baronet, JP[1] (28 July 1866 – 29 October 1940) was a British Liberal Party politician who was Member of Parliament (MP) for Forest of Dean (1911–1918) and Cardiff East (1923–1924), and as Junior Lord of the Treasury (1912–1915).

Educated at Lausanne and Paris, known as "Harry", he trained as a mining engineer and became a director of several South Wales collieries.

Basil Webb had been the model for the famous Welsh sculptor Sir William Goscombe John RA when he produced the bronze sculpture, "The Boy Scout" in 1910.

At the age of 12, Basil also composed the Refectory Prayer for Chester Cathedral, which remains in use today.

In 1919 Sir Henry Webb bore the costs of renovating the crypt and altar of Chester Cathedral, where an inscription may still be found identifying the restoration work "in memory of his gallant son and his companions".
