Heinrich von Wülzburg was a German Benedictine monk, abbot of the monastery of Wülzburg and Archbishop of Gniezno in Poland.

According to the fourteenth century life of Otto of Bamberg, Heinrich arrived in Poland among the entourage Otto of Bamberg. However, Jan Długosz, writing in 15th century and Gesta principum Polonorum, do not reference him and there is some question about whether Heinrich was actually bishop.

Modern scholarship has been divided on his historicity.
