Henry Drummond (13 January 1762 – 4 July 1794), of The Grange, near Alresford, Hampshire, was an English banker and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1790 to 1794.

Drummond was the son of Hon. Henry Drummond, banker of Charing Cross, Westminster and The Grange and his wife Elizabeth Compton, daughter of Hon. Charles Compton (son of the 4th Earl of Northampton).
