Henry Bernard Stricker (1888 – 15 February 1917) was a South African first-class cricketer and South African Army soldier.

Stricker was born at Beaconsfield in 1888 to Louis Stricker senior and his wife, Maude.[1] He was educated at Sacred Heart College, Johannesburg. Stricker was selected to play for Transvaal in March 1913, making his first-class debut against Griqualand West, scoring an unbeaten 66.[1] He made two further first-class appearances in January 1914 for Transvaal against the touring Marylebone Cricket Club.[2] In his three first-class matches, he scored 70 runs at an average of 23.33.[3] With the ball he took two wickets, with best figures of 1 for 23.[4] Stricker served in the South African Army during the First World War, where he was a conductor in the South African Service Corps (Animal Transport). He died from Blackwater fever in February 1917 at Dodoma in German East Africa, aged 29.[1] His brother was the Test cricketer Louis Stricker.
