Henry Hall (1615 - 1663) was an English Anglican priest in Ireland[1][2] in the seventeenth century.[3]

A native of Wells, Somerset, he was educated at Lincoln College, Oxford.[4] He was Chaplain to James Butler, 1st Duke of Ormonde.[5] He became a Prebendary of Ossory in 1642,[6] and Precentor of Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin in 1647.[7] He was appointed Dean of Cork in 1643, (though his appointment was blocked by the Cathedral chapter in favour of Edward Worth);[8] Vicar of Harwell, Oxfordshire (then Berkshire) in the following year; and Bishop of Killala and Achonry in 1661, a post he held until his death on 23 July 1663.[9]
