Henry Colyear Dawkins {{post-nominals|country=GBR|MBE}} (1921 – 4 May 1992) was a British forester, botanist, ecologist and statistician,[1][2][3] a Fellow of St John's College, Oxford.

One of three brothers, he studied botany at Oxford, following in the footsteps of his elder brother John.[4] From 1942 he worked as a forester in the Colonial Service in Uganda. He was awarded an MBE in the 1956 New Year Honours list for "services to Uganda".[5] Later, he returned to Oxford as a lecturer, publishing several papers during his career. His 1958 paper on "The management of tropical high forest with special reference to Uganda" is considered a classic.[3]

His book, Tropical Moist Siviculture and Management: A History of Success and Failure was completed after his death by Michael Philip and published in 1998.[6]

He was the uncle of the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins[7] and his nephew's 1995 book River Out of Eden is dedicated to him.[8]
