Henry Grey, 8th Earl of Kent (c. 1583 – 21 November, 1639) was Earl of Kent from 1623 to his death.
He was the only son of Charles Grey, 7th Earl of Kent and his wife Susan Cotton.
His sister Susan Grey married Sir Michael Longueville. They were parents to Charles Longueville, 12th Baron Grey de Ruthyn.
On November 16, 1601, at St Martin's-in-the-Fields, Henry married Elizabeth Talbot, a daughter of Gilbert Talbot, 7th Earl of Shrewsbury and Mary Cavendish. There were no known children from this marriage.
He served as Lord Lieutenant of Bedfordshire from 1621 to 1627 and again from 1629 to his death. From 1621 to 1623, Henry held the title jointly with his father Charles Grey, 7th Earl of Kent.

He died childless and his primary title as Earl of Kent was inherited by his closest male-line relative, Anthony Grey, 9th Earl of Kent. Anthony was a second cousin of his father as they were both great-grandsons of George Grey, 2nd Earl of Kent.
