Henry Cockburn (14 September 1923 in Ashton under Lyne, Lancashire – 2 February 2004) was an English professional footballer. He represented England at international level, playing 13 times for his country. He also played once for the England B team.
Cockburn joined Manchester United as a junior, turning professional in August 1944. However, because of World War II, he had to wait until 1946 for his league debut. He also made his England debut against Northern Ireland that year.
With United, Cockburn won the 1948 FA Cup and the 1952 league title. He left United in October 1954, joining Bury where he ended his league career after two seasons. He subsequently played for Peterborough United, Corby Town and Sankey's.
After retiring as a player, Cockburn later worked as assistant trainer at Oldham Athletic and assistant and then senior coach at Huddersfield Town.
