Henry Haight (c. 1820–1869) was an American exchange banker and pioneer. He was the manager of the Banking House of Page, Bacon & Co. in San Francisco during the California gold rush era.
He is the uncle of Henry Huntly Haight (1825–1878), tenth governor of California. [1]
Haight Street, running from San Francisco's Golden Gate Park through the Haight-Ashbury to Market Street, is named in his honor. [2]
