Henry Bernard Levin CBE was an English journalist, author and broadcaster, described by The Times as "the most famous journalist of his day". He was one of the most famous as well as one of the most controversial British journalists and broadcasters of the second half of the last century.

After a short spell in a lowly job at the BBC selecting press cuttings for use in programmes, he secured a post as a junior member of the editorial staff of a weekly periodical, Truth, in 1953. Levin became a well-known broadcaster, first on the weekly satirical television show That Was The Week That Was in the early 1960s, then as a panelist on a musical quiz, Face the Music, and finally in three series of travel programmes in the 1980s.
