Henry Padovani (b. October 13 1952, in Bastia, Corsica) is a musician, the original guitarist with The Police. In 1977, he was replaced by Andy Summers.

Since then he has recorded and performed as a musician in his own right. After The Police, he joined Wayne County & the Electric Chairs. In 1980, he formed his own guitar instrumental band, the Flying Padovanis, and released the album Font L'Enfer.

Henry was the Vice President of IRS Records between 1984 and 1994, and then managed Italian superstar Zucchero for 5 years.

After a 5 year sabbatical, Henry decided to return to guitar playing. He plans to release a solo album in April 2006, sung in French, including the song "Welcome Home" featuring Stewart Copeland and Sting of The Police. This was the first time the "original" members of the Police recorded together since "Fallout" and "Visions of the night". Manu Katché, Steve Hunter, Glen Matlock and Chris Musto also appear on the album.

Henry also plans to release a book in April 2006 that recount many episodes of his "sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll" London lifestyle in the late seventies and on The Police's early days. The book will feature many unreleased Police photos.
