Henry Hare, 3rd Baron Coleraine FRS; FSA (10 May 1693 – 1 August 1749) was an English antiquary.
Born at East Betchworth, Surrey, 10 May 1693, he was the eldest son of the Hon. Hugh Hare, by his wife Lydia, daughter of Matthew Carlton of Edmonton, Middlesex. He was educated at Enfield under Robert Uvedale. On the death of his grandfather, Henry Hare, 2nd Baron Coleraine, in 1708, he succeeded to the title, and was admitted a gentleman-commoner of Corpus Christi College, Oxford, under the tuition of John Rogers, who married in 1716 his sister Lydia. He became a good classic, and was versed in history.
Coleraine visited Italy three times; the second time, about 1723, in company with Conyers Middleton, when he made a collection of prints and drawings of the antiquities, buildings, and pictures in Italy, given after his death to Corpus Christi College. He was a member of the Republica Letteraria di Arcadia, and a friend of the Marquis Scipio Maffei, who renewed their friendship at Coleraine's country seat, Bruce Castle, Tottenham.
He was elected Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries, 8 December 1725, and frequently acted as vice-president. On 18 May 1727 he became a member of the Gentleman's Society at Spalding, Lincolnshire, and was also a member of the Brasenose Society. In the following year he was Grand Master of Freemasons. He was chosen Fellow of the Royal Society on 8 January 1730. During the same month was elected M.P. for Boston, Lincolnshire, in the place of the late Henry Pacey; he retired at the general election of 1734.
