Henry Benjamin Wheatley FSA (1838 – 30 April 1917) was a British author, editor, and indexer. His London Past and Present was described as his most important work and "the standard dictionary of London."

Life

He was a posthumous son of Benjamin Wheatley, an auctioneer, and his wife Madalina; the bibliographer Benjamin Robert Wheatley was his brother, and passed on expertise.

Wheatley was Assistant Secretary to Royal Society of Arts, 1879–1909; founding member (1903) and President of the Samuel Pepys Club, 1903–10; Vice-President of the Bibliographical Society, 1908–10, and its President 1911–13. In 1909 he was the President of the Sette of Odd Volumes, an English bibliophile dining-club.

He is buried in a family grave on the eastern side of Highgate Cemetery.
