Henryville (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ʁivil]) is a municipality in Le Haut-Richelieu Regional County Municipality in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. The population as of the Canada 2021 Census was 1,497. Henryville is the birthplace of Bat Masterson, a figure from the late 19th century U.S. wild west who became a New York City newspaper columnist during the early 20th century.

The first settlement of Henryville was founded in 1810 by notary Edme Henry, from whom it took its name. The area covered was vast at the time, including the current municipalities of Saint-Sébastien, Notre-Dame-de-Stanbridge and part of Sainte-Anne-de-Sabrevois.

The municipality was officially created in 1855 under the name of Saint-Georges. During the rest of the 19th century, Saint-Georges lost huge part of it's territory when Notre-Dame-des-Anges-de-Stanbridge, Saint-Sébastien and finally, Sainte-Anne-de-Sabrevois became seperate municipalities. In 1927, the urban part of Saint-Georges splitted from the rural part and took the name of Henryville (the name that was used for this area before 1855). In 1957, the rest of Saint-Georges also switches it's name to Henryville. Finally, in 1999, the village of Henryville (urban) was merged with the rest of the municipality of Henryville (rural) to form a single entity once again. The municipality was severely affected by the 2011 Lake Champlain and Richelieu River floods.
