Horace H. "H.H." Witherstine (April 2, 1852 – October 2, 1924) was an American physician and politician.

Born in Herkimer, New York, he attended Fairfield Academy, then moved to Rochester, Minnesota in 1872 where he was a school teacher. In 1884, he received his medical degree from Rush Medical College and returned to Rochester to practice medicine. He was mayor of Rochester from 1892–1895, 1896–1897 and 1902–1903, served on the school board, and was editor of the Rochester Bulletin newspaper. From 1903–1910, he served in the Minnesota State Senate as a Democrat. He died in an auto accident two miles north of Rochester while on a house call.[1][2][3]
