Henry Dunant, eigentlich Jean-Henri Dunant, geboren am 8. Mai 1828 in Genf, Schweiz, und verstorben am 30. Oktober 1910 in Heiden, Appenzell Ausserrhoden, Schweiz, war ein Schweizer Geschäftsmann und ein Humanist christlicher Prägung.
Während einer Geschäftsreise wurde er im Juni 1859 in der Nähe der italienischen Stadt Solferino Zeuge der erschreckenden Zustände unter den Verwundeten nach einer Schlacht zwischen der Armee Österreichs sowie den Truppen Sardinien-Piemonts und Frankreichs. Über seine Erlebnisse schrieb er ein Buch mit dem Titel Eine Erinnerung an Solferino, das er 1862 auf eigene Kosten veröffentlichte und in Europa verteilte.
In der Folge kam es ein Jahr später in Genf zur Gründung des Internationalen Komitees der Hilfsgesellschaften für die Verwundetenpflege, das seit 1876 den Namen Internationales Komitee vom Roten Kreuz (IKRK) trägt. Die 1864 beschlossene Genfer Konvention geht wesentlich auf Vorschläge aus Dunants Buch zurück. Henry Dunant, der danach aufgrund geschäftlicher Probleme und seines darauf folgenden Ausschlusses aus der Genfer Gesellschaft rund drei Jahrzehnte lang in Armut und Vergessenheit lebte, gilt damit als Begründer der Internationalen Rotkreuz- und Rothalbmond-Bewegung. Im Jahr 1901 erhielt er für seine Lebensleistung zusammen mit dem französischen Pazifisten Frédéric Passy den ersten Friedensnobelpreis.
