Henry George John Brotherton CBE (3 December 1890 – December 1980) was a British trade union leader. Born in Camberwell, London, Brotherton completed an apprenticeship as a sheet metal worker. He joined the National Union of Sheet Metal Workers and Braziers in the final year of his apprenticeship, the earliest point at which he was eligible to do so. He was elected to the executive of the London District in 1923, serving a single year, and during the 1926 UK general strike, took the lead on paying benefits to union members in North London. He was re-elected to the district executive in 1927, and then in 1929 became the union's full-time London District Secretary.
