Henry E. Sharp was an American artisan specializing in stained glass during the nineteenth century, collaborating with William Steele approximately between 1850 and 1897.

Their business operated out of 216 Sixth Avenue, New York City. The stained glass creations by Sharp and Steele were distributed widely, reaching clients not only in New York but also across states such as Pennsylvania, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Maine, Ohio, Nebraska, Minnesota, South Carolina, California, as well as locations like the Virgin Islands and Japan.

The duo's work exemplified the style prevalent in mid-1800s American stained glass from Manhattan’s Broadway district, characterized by elaborately painted full-length figures set within intricate Gothic canopies and vibrant color schemes.
