Henry Matthew Brock (11 July 1875 - 21 July 1960) was a British illustrator and landscape painter of the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. He was one of four artist brothers who worked together in a family studio in Cambridge. Brock worked in advertising as well as in book illustration, for example he illustrated Charles Dickens' 'Great Expectations', and produced four colour plates for a 1935 edition of 'A Christmas Carol'. The University of Reading has an H.M. Brock collection, which is made up some 2000 books in which Brock's work was published.
