Henry Tate (27 October 1873 - 6 June 1926) was an Australian poet and musician.
Henry Tate was born in Prahran, Melbourne, the son of Henry Tate, an accountant.
He was educated at a local state school and as a choir boy at a St Kilda Anglican church, and learned music under Marshall Hall.
He worked as a clerk before becoming a music teacher.
Tate had fewer pupils than he might, however, for he would not encourage a child with no talent, and did not believe in coaching children for music examinations.
