Henry Donald Stronach (27 January 1865 – 12 April 1932) was a New Zealand cricketer. He played six first-class matches for Otago between the 1892–93 and 1894–95 seasons.

A keen sportsman, he played rugby union for Pirates FC and cricket for Carisbrook Cricket Club in the city and was the first batsman to score a century on the Carisbrook ground.
Four of Stronach's six first-class cricket matches were played during the 1892–93 season.

In his six matches he scored a total of 31 runs, with a highest score of 10. In December 1895 he umpired a first-class match between Otago and New South Wales at Carisbrook.
