Henry Casson (15 March 1830 – 25 October 1902) was an English barrister and cricketer.
Casson was the son of William Casson, a Manchester solicitor, and was born there in 1830. He was educated at St John's College, Cambridge, and played five first-class matches for Cambridge University Cricket Club between 1850 and 1852. After graduating, he was called to the Bar at Inner Temple in 1856.

He undertook a great deal of conveyancing work for his father-in-law, and when in 1878 Hall became Vice Chancellor, Casson succeeded him as conveyancing counsel to the Court of Chancery. He was also conveyancing counsel to the Metropolitan Board of Works and from its creation in 1889 to the London County Council, and was adviser of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners in their church building cases.
