Henry Theophilus Finck bol americký hudobný kritik a popredný propagátor Richarda Wagnera a jeho hudobných teórií v Spojených štátoch. Po štúdiách filozofie, klasických vied a hudby na Harvarde a výskume fyziologickej psychológie v Európe sa stal hudobným redaktorom denníka New York Evening Post. Počas svojej štyridsaťročnej kariéry sa zaslúžil o popularizáciu Wagnerovej hudby a jeho vplyvných myšlienok, pričom si zachoval jedinečný štýl kritiky. Finckova práca prispela k hlbšiemu pochopeniu a oceneniu hudobnej estetiky svojej doby.
