Henry Melville Taberer (7 October 1870 in Keiskammahoek, Cape Province – 5 June 1932 in Colesberg, Cape Province) was a South African cricketer who played in one Test in 1902.
Taberer played cricket in England for Oxford University but failed to win a blue, and he also appeared for Essex before the county achieved first-class status. He appeared for Oxford against Cambridge in both athletics (long jump) and rugby union.
Taberer had an intermittent cricket career in South Africa, appearing for Natal, Transvaal and Rhodesia. On his one Test appearance he captained the side, but he scored only two runs and took just one wicket, that of Victor Trumper. The match was his last first-class cricket appearance. He was later prominent in South African cricket administration.
Taberer was born on a mission station and later became manager of the South African government's Native Labour Bureau and manager of the Native Recruiting Corporation for the Chamber of Mines.
