Henry B. Ransom (February 25, 1911 – December 21, 1987) was an American professional golfer who played on the PGA Tour in the 1940s and 1950s.

Ransom was born in Houston, Texas.[1] He turned professional in 1933.[1] He won five PGA Tour events during his career, and was a member of the 1951 Ryder Cup team.[2] His best finishes in the major championships were a T-5 at the 1950 U.S. Open[3] and at the 1953 and 1956 PGA Championships (lost in quarter-finals of match play).

At a tournament in Texas in 1948, Ransom was involved in a fist-fight with one of his playing partners, the diminutive, short-tempered Australian Norman Von Nida that resulted in police having to pull them apart.[4]

Ransom was forced off the tour in the late 1950s because of an allergy to grass.[2] After retiring as a tour player, he coached the Texas A&M University golf team from 1959 to 1973, winning six Southwest Conference titles. He was also a golf course architect; his designs included Idylwild Golf Club in Sour Lake, Texas.[5]
