Sir Henry Newell Bate (April 9, 1828 – April 9, 1916) was a wealthy Canadian industrialist and the first Chairman of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, founded in 1899 (now the National Capital Commission). Bate was knighted in 1910 by King George V for his efforts, with the Ottawa Citizen reporting on June 24, 1910: "Just how much Ottawa the beautiful owes to Sir Henry Bate cannot be told in words. As chairman of the Ottawa Improvement Commission, he was one of the first to conceive the idea of The Rideau Canal Driveway, and the purchase of the parks, which have greatly enhanced the beauty of the Dominion's Capital City."
