Admiral Henry Lancelot Mawbey, C.B., C.V.O., Royal Navy, Retired (17 June, 1870 – 4 June, 1933) was an officer of the Royal Navy.

Before joining the Navy, Mawbey was educated at Cordwalles, a private school in Maidenhead.[1]

When informed that one of his Sub-Lieutenants, E. S. Brand, had been requested to commission H.M.S. Valiant, Mawbey summoned the young man and after being told that he intended to take up the appointment, he told Brand: "I hope you have a bloody rotten time there and if you do, don't blame me, blame Forbes-Semphill!"[2]
