Henry Dudley (1813-1894) was an English-born North American architect, known for his Gothic Revival churches. He was a founding member of the American Institute of Architects and designed a large number of churches, among them St. Paul's Cathedral (Syracuse, New York), built in 1884.[1][2][3]

He partnered with architect Frank Wills and worked on a number of churches with him. After Wills' sudden death in April 1857, Dudley is believed to have completed the Episcopal Church of the Nativity (Huntsville, Alabama), which is now a National Historic Landmark.[2] He also worked on his own and with Frederick Diaper.[1]

Two churches believed to be the work of Wills and Dudley will likely have had increased involvement by Dudley, due to their completion after Will's death:[2]

  • Church of the Nativity (Union, South Carolina), 1856-59
  • Trinity Church (Natchitoches, Louisiana), 1857-1860
