何维柏,南海人。
明史卷二百十 列传第九十八:
  何维柏,字乔仲,南海人。嘉靖十四年进士。选庶吉士,授御史。雷震谨身殿,维柏言四海困竭,所在流移,而所司议加赋,民不为盗不止。因请罢沙河行宫、金山功德寺工作,及安南问罪之师。帝颇嘉纳。寻引疾归。久之,起巡按福建。二十四年五月疏劾大学士严嵩奸贪罪,比之李林甫、卢杞。且言嵩进顾可学、盛端明修合方药,邪媚要宠。帝震怒,遣官逮治。士民遮道号哭,维柏意气自如。下诏狱,廷杖,除名。家居二十余年。隆庆改元,召复官,擢大理少卿。迁左佥都御史。疏请日御便殿,召执政大臣谋政事,并择大臣有才德者与讲读儒臣更番入直。宫中燕居,慎选谨厚内侍调护圣躬,俾游处有常,幸御有节。非隆冬盛寒,毋辍朝讲。报闻。进左副都御史。母忧归。万历初,还朝。历吏部左、右侍郎,极论鬻官之害。御史刘台劾大学士张居正,居正乞罢,维柏倡九卿留之。及居正遭父丧,诏吏部谕留。尚书张瀚叩维柏,维柏曰:“天经地义,何可废也?”瀚从之而止。居正怒,取旨罢瀚,停维柏俸三月。旋出为南京礼部尚书。考察自陈,居正从中罢之。卒谥端恪。
