H to He, Who Am the Only One is the third album by the British progressive rock band Van der Graaf Generator. It was released in December 1970 on Charisma Records.

The band recorded the album in several stages throughout mid-1970 in Trident Studios with producer John Anthony. The songs' lyrics refer to a killer shark in "Killer", isolation and loneliness in "House With No Door", lost love in "Lost" and science fiction material in "Pioneers Over c". Bassist Nic Potter left the group in August partway through recording, with organist Hugh Banton covering on bass guitar in the studio and playing bass pedals in concert. King Crimson's Robert Fripp made a guest appearance on guitar, and the cover was the first of several by the band to feature the artwork of Paul Whitehead.

The album did not chart in the UK, and contemporary reviews were mixed, but it has since been regarded as a good example of progressive rock albums by critics. "Killer" has been singled out for praise as a fan favourite.
