Henry Mellish FRGS,[1] CB[2] (31 October 1856 – 1927) was known for his participation in competitive rifle shooting and meteorology.[3] He inherited the Hodsock Priory estate in 1864 upon the death of his father William Leigh Mellish.

He was educated at Eton and at Balliol College, Oxford.[4]

Mellish was called in 1882 to the Bar at the Inner Temple. Instead of practicing law, he had a career in Nottinghamshire County government and served as a magistrate. He attained the rank of lieutenant-colonel of the Nottinghamshire Volunteers and Territorial Force. {{citation needed|date=July 2015}}

In competitive rifle shooting he represented England in the Elcho Shield in over twenty occasions at Wimbledon and Bisley.[2]

Mellish was President of the Royal Meteorological Society in 1909–1911 and maintained a weather recording station at Hodsock Priory for many years.[3]

Henry Mellish School and Specialist Sports College was named in his honour.
