**Henry Baley** (died 20 December 1701) was a ship's captain for the [Hudson's Bay Company](/source/Hudson's_Bay_Company) and became a governor of that company.

Historical knowledge of Baley shows that he was chief mate under Captain [Leonard Edgcombe](/source/Leonard_Edgcombe) and had his own ship, the *Prosperous*, by 1692. He was involved in a number of voyages that dealt with the wresting of control of forts in the [James Bay](/source/James_Bay) and [Hudson Bay](/source/Hudson_Bay) area from the French.
