Henry Bliss (24 April 1797 – 31 July 1873) was the son of Jonathan Bliss, a chief justice of New Brunswick, and was, variously, an author, a lawyer, and a provincial agent for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

Henry and his brother William were educated at King’s College, Nova Scotia. After graduation, his father had him appointed a clerk of the courts in New Brunswick. He lost this patronage appointment after his father's death and went to England where he became a lawyer. On his return to Canada, he was the provincial agent for New Brunswick and Nova Scotia which was an advocacy position for the provincial assemblies and the Colonial Office.
