Herbert Butterfield was born in Oxenhope, Yorkshire, England. He was an English historian. He was Regius Professor of Modern History at Peterhouse College, Cambridge University from 1963-68, and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge from 1959-61.

He earned an M.A. degree from Cambridge University in 1926. He was a fellow at Cambridge in 1928-79. He served as editor of the Cambridge Historical Journal from 1938 to 1955.
