Henry Sigismund Schwann (19 November 1868 – 27 May 1931) was an English first-class cricketer and stockbroker.

The son of Frederick Sigismund Schwann, he was born in November 1868 at North Houghton, Hampshire. He was educated at Clifton College,[1] where he played for the school cricket team and recorded a then record high score in an away match for the college of 209 not out against Sherborne School.[2] From Clifton he went up to Corpus Christi College, Oxford.[3] While studying at Oxford, he played first-class cricket for Oxford University in 1890, making six appearances which included playing in The University Match against Cambridge at Lord's.[4] He scored 204 runs in his six matches, at an average of 18.54 and a high score of 70.[5]

After graduating from Oxford, he became a stockbroker at the London Stock Exchange.[2] In March 1917, he changed his name to Henry Bagehot Swann, presumably Anglicised from German to English due to anti-German sentiment in England at the time.[6] Schwann died in May 1931 at Meads, Sussex.
