Шаблон:Use dmy dates Henry Steedman (1866–1953) was a Scottish-born Australian botanist.

Born in Scotland in 1866, he emigrated to Western Australia at the age of 21. He was head gardener at the South Perth Zoological Gardens (now Perth Zoo) for many years, but was retrenched in the late 1920s with the onset of the Great Depression. Thereafter he spent his time collecting seeds and specimens of native plants. He made a number of collecting expeditions, including one east to Kalgoorlie with Ivan Carnaby; another south as far as Ravensthorpe, also with Carnaby; and one along the west coast from Bunbury to Geraldton. He collected the type specimens for a number of Eucalyptus taxa, including Шаблон:Nowrap (Silver Mallee), Шаблон:Nowrap (Rosebud Gum), Шаблон:Nowrap (Rose Mallee) and Шаблон:Nowrap (Steedman's Gum). He was joint publisher with Joyce Blakely of the second and third of these species, and also Шаблон:Nowrap (Burdett Gum), Шаблон:Nowrap and Шаблон:Nowrap. Шаблон:Nowrap was named in his honour, as was Acacia steedmanii and Melaleuca fulgens subsp. steedmanii.
