Henrietta "Harriet" Sheppard, née Campbell (1786–1858) was a Canadian naturalist and botanist. She was noted for studying and publishing on birds, shells, and plants of the Quebec region. Working with Anne Mary Perceval and Christian Ramsay (Lady Dalhousie) she collected plants of the region. Along with Perceval, Ramsay, and Mary Brenton, she was a contributor to William Jackson Hooker’s Flora boreali-Americana (1829–1840). The standard author abbreviation Sheppard is used to indicate this person as the author when citing a botanical name.
