Yup. Edit the HTML template and save in folder:

    ${HOME}/.config/geany/templates/files

It will override the default template in the installation set. 

While you're at it, you might want to change to HTML5 (or whatever it's
called this week) DTD-less doctype.

e.g.:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en-au">

<head>
	<title>{untitled}</title>
	<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8" />
	<meta name="generator" content="{geanyversion}" />
</head>
