Major General Henry Patrick Procter (c. 1763 – 31 October 1822) was a British Army officer who served in Upper Canada during the War of 1812. Procter led British forces at the Battle of Frenchtown and the Siege of Fort Meigs, but is best known for his defeat on 5 October 1813 by American forces at the Battle of the Thames. The loss left the Western District of Upper Canada under American control for the rest of the war.
