Henry Martyn Field (April 3 1822 - January 26 1907) was an American author and clergyman.
Brother of Cyrus West Field, David Dudley Field, and Stephen Johnson Field, he was born at Stockbridge, Massachusetts; he graduated at Williams College in 1838, and was pastor of a Presbyterian church in St Louis, Missouri, from 1842 to 1847, and of a Congregational church in West Springfield, Massachusetts, from 1850 to 1854. The interval between his two pastorates he spent in Europe.
From 1854 to 1898 he was editor and for many years he was also sole proprietor of "The Evangelist", a New York periodical devoted to the interests of the Presbyterian church. He spent the last years of his life in retirement at Stockbridge, where he died in 1907.
He was the author of a series of books of travel, which achieved unusual popularity. His two volumes descriptive of a trip round the world in 1875-1876, entitled From the "Lakes of Kularney to the Golden Horn" (1876) and "From Egypt to Japan" (1877), are almost classic in their way, and have passed through more than twenty editions. Among his other publications are "The Irish Confederates and the Rebellion of 1798" (1850), "The History of the Atlantic Telegraph" (1866), "Faith or Agnosticism? the Field-Ingersoll Discussion" (1888), "Old Spain and New Spain" (1888), and "Life of David Dudley Field" (1898).
