Henry Liddell Mabb (January 24, 1872—1961) was a politician in Manitoba, Canada. He served in the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba from 1920 to 1922.

Mabb was born at Hull in Yorkshire, England. He was educated at the Athénée Royal in Antwerp, Belgium, and moved to Canada in 1887. During his political career, he lived in Fisher Branch, Manitoba.

He was elected to the Manitoba legislature in the 1920 provincial election, defeating two Liberal candidates in the constituency of Fisher. Mabb was elected as an "independent Farmer" candidate, and served with the opposition Independent-Farmer bloc for the next two years.

Unlike others in the Independent-Farmer bloc, Mabb did not run for the United Farmers of Manitoba in the 1922 provincial election. Nicholas Bachynsky received the UFM nomination, while Mabb ran for re-election as an independent candidate. Bachynsky won by 327 votes.

Mabb later joined the Conservative Party, and challenged Bachynsky again in the 1927 election. He lost by 444 votes.
