Henry William Wilberforce (September 22, 1807 - April 23, 1873), the youngest son of William Wilberforce, was an English Catholic journalist and author. He studied law at Oxford and was a pupil of John Henry Newman, through whose influence he later took orders as an Anglican priest. He served the Anglican church from 1834 to 1850, when he and his wife were received into the Catholic Church.
After his conversion, he became proprietor and editor of the Catholic Standard, and wrote several books.
