Henry A. Huber (November 6, 1869 — January 31, 1933) was a Wisconsin politician. He was born in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania in 1869, but moved to Pleasant Springs, Wisconsin with his parents at the age of ten. He graduated from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in 1892 and set up a law practice in Stoughton. He served as a Republican in the Wisconsin State Assembly from 1905 until 1906, and in the state senate from 1913 until 1924.
During his time as a senator, he gained national recognition for writing the Huber Law of 1913, which allowed county prisoners to be employed during the day; he is also known for introducing landmark unemployment legislation. He later served four terms as the 25th Lieutenant Governor of Wisconsin, from 1925 until 1933, under four different governors.
Huber died of a heart ailment, at Madison General Hospital, Madison, Wisconsin, on January 31, 1933, aged 63.[1]
