Henry William Parish (fl. c. 1792 - 1797) was a British artillery officer best known as a draughtsman and head of the artillery detachment on Lord Macartney's embassy to China. Several of his drawings were published in George Leonard Staunton's An Authentic Account of an Embassy from the King of Great Britain to the Emperor of China in 1797. Parish also surveyed portions of the Great Wall of China as the embassy moved towards Chengde, the summer residence of the Qing emperors.
