Henry Kater (1777–1835) was a British inventor and physicist best known for his work in the field of metrology, particularly in the development of precision pendulums for use in timekeeping. Kater's most notable contribution is the Kater's pendulum, which is an improved form of a standard pendulum that allows for a more accurate determination of the acceleration due to gravity.
