Henri L. Sudre (12 January 1862 – 4 December 1918) was a French botanist.

Up until 1904, he served as an instructor at a teacher's college in Albi, afterwards working in Toulouse.[1] He specialized in the field of batology (study of brambles), being the author of numerous works associated with the genus Rubus, including an acclaimed monograph on European species, "Rubi Europae vel Monographia iconibus illustrata ruborum Europae", published in several installments from 1908 to 1913.[2] He also made significant contributions in his investigations of the genus Hieracium, being the taxonomic authority of numerous species.[3]

His herbarium, which contains many types of plants, is kept in Agen, Lot-et-Garonne.[4]
