Pierre Henry (born December 9, 1927 in Paris, France) is a French composer, considered a pioneer of the [[musique concr�te]] genre of electronic music.

Between 1949 and 1958, Henry worked at the Club d'Essai studio at [[Office de Radiodiffusion T�l�vision Fran�aise|RTF]], founded by Pierre Schaeffer. During this period, he wrote the 1950 piece Symphonie pour un homme seul, in cooperation with Schaeffer; he also composed the first musique concr�te to appear in a commercial film, the 1952 short film Astrologie ou le miroir de la vie. Henry has scored numerous additional films and ballets.

Among Henry's best known works is the experimental 1967 album [[Messe pour le temps pr�sent]], one of several cooperations with choreographer [[Maurice B�jart]].
