Herschel Hendler Steinberg (14 December 1890 13 January 1968), known professionally as Herschel Henlere, was a Canadian-born pianist, who had a career as a comic entertainer in American vaudeville and then in British variety shows, billed as "The Mirthful Music Master".

From the 1920s, he spent most of his time in Britain, where he became a leading attraction in variety shows in the late 1920s and 1930s.He was notorious in show business circles for over-running his allotted time slot; he was often put last on the bill so that if necessary theatre managers could end the show by closing the curtains on him. In the mid 1920s he also made successful tours of New Zealand and Australia, where he recorded player piano rolls of several of his vaudeville specialties for the Mastertouch roll company in Sydney. One of these rolls, a ragtime parody of classical tunes named 'Mocking the Classics', became Mastertouch's best selling roll for over a decade.
