Henry Stopes (1852, Colchester – 1902, Greenhithe) was a brewer, architect and amateur paleontologist of repute in late 19th century London. He amassed the largest private collection of fossils and lithic artefacts in Britain. He was the husband of Shakespearean scholar and feminist, Charlotte Carmichael Stopes, and father of Marie Stopes, the birth control advocate. Stopes was the first Briton to claim to have found Palaeolithic implements in the Thames river valley.
