Henry Man, D.D. (died 1556) was an English clergyman who served as the Bishop of Sodor and Man in the 16th-century.

Until the Reformation he was a Carthusian monk who had been appointed the Prior of Witham, Somerset (1534–1535)[2] and then the Prior of Sheen, Surrey (1535–1539).[3] Following the dissolution of the monasteries, he was briefly a chaplain to King Henry VIII. He was appointed the Dean of Chester in 1541,[4][5] also holding the rectories of St Mary on the Hill, Chester and Fyningley, Nottinghamshire.[6]

He was nominated Bishop of Sodor and Man in January 1546 and consecrated at Old St Paul's Cathedral on 14 February 1546 by bishops Bonner, Chetham and Hodgkins.[7][8] He continued to hold the deanery of Chester in commendam for another year before resigning the post by 31 May 1547.[4][5] After the accession of Queen Mary I, he was deprived of the see and his predecessor Thomas Stanley was restored in 1555 or 1556.[9][10]

Henry died on 19 October 1556 and was buried at St Andrew Undershaft, London.[7][8][11]
