The Right Reverend The Honourable Henry Dudley Ryder (21 July 1777 Streatham, Surrey – 31 March 1836 Hastings, Sussex) ^[1] was a prominent English Evangelical Anglican clergyman in the early years of the nineteenth century. He was the first Evangelical to be raised to the Anglican episcopate.

Ryder was the fifth son of Nathaniel Ryder, 1st Baron Harrowby, by his wife Elizabeth Terrick, daughter of Richard Terrick, Bishop of London. Dudley Ryder, 1st Earl of Harrowby and the Honourable Richard Ryder were his elder brothers. He studied at St John's College, Cambridge,^[2] and became vicar of Lutterworth and of Claybrook. He was canon of Windsor in 1808.

He was successively Bishop of Gloucester, from 1815, and Bishop of Lichfield and Coventry, from 1824. His kneeling statue by Francis Legatt Chantrey is in Lichfield Cathedral.

John Henry Newman, in his Apologia Pro Vita Sua, speaks of the veneration in which he held Bishop Ryder.^[3]^[4]
