Mount Henry is a 12,196-foot-elevation (3,717-meter) mountain summit located in the Sierra Nevada mountain range, in Fresno County of northern California, United States. It is situated on the Le Conte Divide, along the shared boundary of John Muir Wilderness and Kings Canyon National Park, and 3.7 miles (6.0 km) northwest of Emerald Peak, the nearest higher neighbor. Topographic relief is significant as the east aspect rises 3,800 feet (1,200 meters) above South Fork San Joaquin River in two miles. The John Muir Trail passes to the northeast, providing an approach option.
