Henry de Longchamp or Henry de Longo Campo (c1150–1212) was an Anglo-Norman administrator.

He was born in Wilton Castle, near Ross-on-Wye, Herefordshire, the son of Hugh de Longchamp. One of his brothers, William, was to become Chancellor of England and Bishop of Ely and another, Osbert, Sheriff of Yorkshire and Norfolk .

He was appointed High Sheriff of Herefordshire for 1190 by the new King Richard in place of Ralph Arden, again in 1193 and High Sheriff of Worcestershire from 1195 to 1197.
