{{Use dmy dates|date=June 2015}}{{Use British English|date=June 2015}}Henry "Hen" Pearce (born 7 May 1777 in Bristol; died 30 April 1809 at St. Martin's Lane, London) was an English bare-knuckle prizefighter who fought under the London Prize Ring rules and was the recognised English Champion from 1804 until his retirement due to ill health in 1807.[1]

Pearce was known as "The Game Chicken", a nickname probably derived from his habit of signing his name "Hen" instead of Henry. He was reckoned a fast, skillful boxer who hit hard with both fists.

On 6 December 1805, Pearce defeated Jem Belcher in a Championship decider ( a fight reported in Pierce Egan's first volume of Boxiana).[2]

He was inducted into the Ring Boxing Hall of Fame in 1987 and the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1993.[1]
