Henry Slattery is a professional football player in the Australian Football League, most recently playing for the Essendon Football Club.

Slattery was recruited by Essendon with selection 46 in the 2004 AFL Draft. He had previously played for West Adelaide in the SANFL. He made his debut in 2005 against St Kilda, kicking a goal. His first three seasons were limited by hip and knee injuries before he cemented his place in the Essendon starting team, often as a small, lock-down defender or defensive midfielder.

At the end of the 2012 AFL season, Slattery decided to leave Essendon in search of greater opportunities at AFL level, after playing in only 2 games for the year, nominating South Australia as his preferred destination. He was not selected in the 2012 AFL Draft, but was recruited by the Port Adelaide Magpies in the SANFL.

Slattery has a Bachelor of Agricultural Science degree from the University of Melbourne.

On 12 January 2016 Slattery was named as one of 34 past and present Essendon players found guilty over their use of illegal supplements during the 2012 AFL season. As a result, Slattery was suspended from playing at all levels for twelve months, effective from November 2015.
