Henry Kelly (born 17 April 1946) is an Irish television presenter and radio DJ.

Henry Kelly was born in Athlone, Co Westmeath, Ireland. Henry Kelly was educated at Belvedere College SJ, and at University College Dublin where he was Auditor of the Literary and Historical Society. After university he worked as a journalist and was the Belfast based Northern Editor of the Irish Times in the 1970s . He wrote How Stormont Fell in 1972, a still highly regarded work. In 1976, he moved to London to work on Radio 4's World Tonight and, in a complete career change from serious journalism, in 1980 moved into television. Kelly became a household name in the UK as part of the presenting team for LWT's practical-joke show Game for a Laugh in the 1980s. From 1987 to 1996 he presented Going for Gold, a significantly popular lunchtime TV quiz show on BBC1. Through his work on Going for Gold, Henry developed the catchphrases "What am I?" and "Now you're playing catchup". Henry now works with radio broadcasters Andrew Peach and Steve Madden at BBC Radio Berkshire.

In 1992 Kelly was one of the launch presenters of Classic FM, initially presenting the weekday mid-morning show from 9am-12pm. He then moved onto the Breakfast Show, being replaced by Simon Bates in June 2003.
