Henry Augustus Rowland (September 18, 1804 – September 4, 1859) was an American minister.

He was the son of Rev. Henry A. Rowland of Windsor, Connecticut, and was born in that town September 18, 1804; his family was related to the preacher Jonathan Edwards.

He graduated from Yale University in 1823. After the completion of a course of theological studies at Andover Theological Seminary in 1827 he was ordained to the ministry, and spent a year at the South as an agent of the American Bible Society. In 1833, he was settled as Pastor of the Presbyterian Church at Fayetteville, North Carolina, from which place he removed after several years, to take charge of the Pearl Street Presbyterian Church, in New York City.
