Henry Perrin Beatty, PC (born June 1, 1950) is a Canadian corporate executive and former politician.
Beatty is a graduate of Upper Canada College in Toronto, Ontario, and of the University of Western Ontario in London.
He first won election to the Canadian House of Commons as a Progressive Conservative at the age of 22 in the 1972 election.
In 1979 he became, at the time, the youngest person ever appointed to a Canadian Cabinet when Prime Minister Joe Clark made Beatty his minister of state for the Treasury Board in his short-lived government. Beatty returned to the opposition benches as a result of the defeat of the Clark government in the 1980 election.
With the Conservative victory in the 1984 election, Prime Minister Brian Mulroney made Beatty Minister of National Revenue and Minister responsible for Canada Post. He subsequently served as Solicitor General of Canada (1985 – 1986), Defence Minister (1986 – 1989), Minister of National Health and Welfare (1989 – 1991), and the now-defunct position of Minister of Communications (1991 – 1993).
