'Henry Brockholst Livingston' (25 November 1757 - 18 March 1823) was an American jurist and a native of New York City. He was the son of William Livingston. He served as a Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1806 to 1823.
Justice Livingston was an alumnus of Princeton University. As a justice on the Supreme Court of New York, he authored a famous dissent in the case of Pierson v. Post, 3 Cai. R. 175 (1805). Two years after that dissent, President Thomas Jefferson appointed Livingston to the Supreme Court of the United States.
Justice Livingston often followed the lead of Chief Justice John Marshall. During his tenure on the court, Supreme Court Justices were required to ride a circuit; in Justice Livingston's case, he presided over cases in New York State.
