Henry Taub (September 20, 1927 – March 31, 2011) was a prominent American entrepreneur and philanthropist of Hungarian-Jewish heritage, recognized as a co-founder of ADP.

Originating from Paterson, New Jersey, Taub earned his accounting degree from New York University in 1947. Two years later, in 1949, he established Automatic Payrolls Inc. (API), a manual payroll processing firm based in Northern New Jersey. This company eventually transformed into ADP, which became the foremost U.S. provider specializing in computerized payroll and benefits administration. Taub stepped down from his role at ADP during the mid-1980s.

Between 1974 and 1976, he held the position of national president for the American Technion Society and later led the Technion International Board of Governors as chairman from 1990 until 2003. At the time of his passing, he was serving as Honorary Chair of the Technion Board and was actively involved with both the ATS National and New York Metropolitan Boards.

Together with his spouse Marilyn, Taub played a pivotal role in advancing major Technion projects such as the Henry and Marilyn Taub and Family Science and Technology Center, which houses the distinguished Faculty of Computer Science. They also spearheaded the Leaders in Science and Technology Faculty Recruitment Program and established the Henry and Marilyn Taub Fund for the Future.

His contributions were recognized through awards including the Technion Medal, an honorary doctorate, and fellowship honors. In 2004, the American Technion Society celebrated his lifelong dedication during an event held in New York City.

Residing in Tenafly, New Jersey, Taub passed away on March 31, 2011, due to leukemia-related complications.
