Charles Henry Heathcote (2 April 1850–16 January 1938)[1] was a British architect who practised in Manchester. He was articled to the church architects Charles Hansom, of Clifton, Bristol. He was awarded the RI Medal of Merit in 1868, and started his own practice in 1872.

Heathcote built city centre buildings such as Parr's Bank (1902) on York Street, the Eagle Star Building (1911) on Cross Street, Lloyds Bank (1915) on King Street, and the earlier 107 Piccadilly textile warehouse (1899).[2] He helped plan the Trafford Park industrial estate, working for British Westinghouse and the Ford Motor Company. He designed 15 warehouses for the Manchester Ship Canal Company. He also worked on the buildings for Richard Lane's Cheadle Royal Lunatic Asylum.[1]
