Henry Anthony (born 16 May 1873) was an English cricketer. He was a right-handed batsman and a right-arm medium-pace bowler who played for Nottinghamshire. He was born in Old Basford.

Anthony made four first-class appearances between 1898 and 1902, in the Nottinghamshire lower-order, partnering players such as Charles Wright and John Gunn, both of whom would shortly become Test cricketers on account of their appearances with the team.

Anthony's brother, George and uncle Alfred also played first-class cricket, the brothers partnering each other in the lower order in Henry's final first-class game.

    There is no alleviation for the sufferings of mankind except veracity of thought and of action, and the resolute facing of the world as it is when the garment of make-believe by which pious hands have hidden its uglier features is stripped off.
    —Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–1895)

    Oh, yes, I’d do it all again; the spirit is willing yet; I feel the same desire to do the work but the flesh is weak. It’s too bad that our bodies wear out while our interests are just as strong as ever.
    —Susan B. Anthony (1820–1906)
