Henry Mayo Bateman (15 February 1887 11 February 1970, Mgarr, Malta) was a British humorous artist and cartoonist.

H. M. Bateman was noted for his “The Man Who…” series of cartoons, featuring comically exaggerated reactions to minor and usually upper-class social gaffes, such as “The Man Who Lit His Cigar Before the Royal Toast”, “The Man Who Threw a Snowball at St. Moritz” and “The Boy Who Breathed on the Glass at the British Museum” which appeared in the satirical magazine Punch.

Born in Sutton Forest in NSW, Henry Mayo Bateman’s cartoons caught the attention of Phil May, who encouraged him. He joined The Tatler Magazine & went on to draw cartoons for Punch Magazine.
