Henry Collen (9 October 1797 – 8 May 1879) was an English miniature portrait painter and photographer. A pupil of painter Sir George Hayter at the Royal Academy Schools, Collen trained as a miniaturist, winning a Royal Academy Siver Medal in 1821. He was appointed "Miniature Painter to Her Majesty" for Queen Victoria of the United Kingdom following her accession in 1837. Later in life he turned to photography and was the first professional calotypist in London.
