Henry Walter Livingston (June 12, 1768 – December 22, 1810) was a United States Representative from the state of New York.
Livingston was born in Livingston, Columbia County, New York to Continental Congressman Walter Livingston (1740–1797) and Cornelia Schuyler (1746–1822). He was baptized on June 12, 1768 and had probably been born on the same day. His sister, Gertrude Livingston (1778–1864) who married William Cutting (1773–1820), was the mother of Francis Brockholst Cutting (1804–1870), also a U.S. Representative from New York's 8th congressional district. His youngest sister, Harriet Livingston (1783–1826), was married to Robert Fulton (1765–1815). His paternal grandfather was Robert Livingston (1708–1790), the 3rd Lord of Livingston Manor. His mother was the granddaughter of Pieter Schuyler (1657–1724), the 1st Mayor of Albany.
He graduated from Yale College in 1786, studied law, was admitted to the bar and commenced practice in New York City.
From October 2, 1787 to September 11, 1789, Livingston was a clerk in the office of Alexander Hamilton, who issued a "certificate of clerkship" for him on April 29, 1790, stating that "he is of good moral Character."
From 1792 to 1794 he was private secretary to Gouverneur Morris, who was then Minister to France.
