Henry Warmouth of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (c.1594-c.1654) was the son and heir of William Warmouth, mayor of Newcastle in 1615 and Judith, daughter of William Whittingham, dean of Durham. He matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford in 1610 and was admitted to Gray's Inn in 1612. A parliamentarian sympathiser, in April 1643, he was stripped of his place as alderman of Newcastle.
