Major-General Sir Henry Macandrew, KCB, DSO (7 August 1866 – 16 July 1919) was a British Indian Army officer. Predominantly serving in the cavalry and also as an intelligence officer, Macandrew fought through the Tirah campaign in India in 1897 and 1898, and then served as a staff officer during the Boer War, participating in several battles and receiving the Distinguished Service Order.

After serving again on the staff, Macandrew was given command of his regiment, the 5th Bengal Cavalry, in 1914, and upon the outbreak of the First World War travelled to France as General Staff Officer Grade 1 of the 1st Indian Cavalry Division. Soon afterwards he was promoted to become Brigadier-General General Staff for the Indian Cavalry Corps. He served at the Battle of Neuve Chapelle before he assumed command of the 2nd Indian Cavalry Division in 1916, leading it during the Battle of the Somme and Battle of Cambrai. In 1918 he was given command of the newly created 5th Cavalry Division for the Sinai and Palestine campaign. He commanded the division throughout the campaign, including at the Capture of Damascus and Battle of Aleppo. Staying with his division after the war, Macandrew died of wounds received in an accidental explosion of petrol fumes in Aleppo.
