Died	1960 Brooklyn, New York
Known for	Architect of many Roman Catholic buildings

Henry V. Murphy (1888–1960) was an American architect who specialized in Roman Catholic churches and schools.

Murphy was born in the village of Horseheads, near Elmira, New York and graduated from the Pratt Institute of Architecture. He practiced from an office at 1 Hanson Place, Brooklyn, New York City

Perhaps Murphy's most admired achievement is the Jamaica, Queens campus of St. John’s University where he created the master plan for the campus and designed the first four buildings. Although he never had an opportunity to build a church in Manhattan, his Brooklyn churches were greatly admired, which resulted in opportunities to work with Roman Catholic communities throughout the area.
