Henry Hawes Craven Green (3 July 1837 – 22 July 1910) was an English theatre scene-painter. He collaborated with Henry Irving, Richard D'Oyly Carte and Herbert Beerbohm Tree, producing stage sets of unprecedented realism.

He was regarded as the finest scene-painter of his day and was the last major scenic designer in the ultra-realistic tradition. Biography Early years Craven was born in Leeds, the son of theatrical parents. His father, James Green (d. 1881), was a comedian and pantomimist, who had previously been an innkeeper. His mother, Elizabeth, ''née'' Craven (1802 or 1803–1866), was an actress, who left the stage, and published several volumes of prose and verse.
