Henrietta Moraes (d. 1998) was a famous Soho beauty in the 1950s, a habitué of the Colony Room , who became the muse of a number of important British artists in the early 1950s through the mid-1960s. Francis Bacon and Lucian Freud painted her on several occasions, with Bacon particularly enthralled by her mercurial character.

Moraes was a famous alcoholic and drug addict, who late in life found sobriety and wrote a volume of short stories following the encouragement of writer Francis Wyndham . In her last year of life, Moraes developed a close relationship with artist Maggi Hambling, who produced a posthumous volume of charcoal portraits.
