Henry Taylor Wickham (December 17, 1849 – March 5, 1943) was an American lawyer and Democratic politician who served as a member of the Virginia Senate from 1890 to 1908 and again from 1923 to 1943.[1] Until 2012, when he was surpassed by Charles J. Colgan, he was the longest serving member in the history of that body.

His father, Williams Carter Wickham, was a Confederate brigadier general and congressman.
