General Sir Roger Hale Sheaffe, 1st Baronet was a British Army officer and colonial administrator who served during the War of the Second Coalition and the War of 1812. After the death of Major General Isaac Brock at the Battle of Queenston Heights, Sheaffe became the military commander and acting Lieutenant Governor of Upper Canada. He was created a baronet in January 1813 in recognition of his leadership during the battle. In June 1813, Sheaffe was relieved of his civil and military responsibilities due to his decision to retreat at the Battle of York. He was recalled to England later that year. Sheaffe continued serving in the British Army and received a promotion to lieutenant general in 1821 and to full general in 1835.
