Heinrich Gustav Neuhaus (Polish: Henryk (Henry) Neuhaus; Russian: Ге́нрих Густа́вович Нейга́уз, romanized: Genrikh Gustavovich Neygauz; 12 April [O.S. 31 March] 1888 – 10 October 1964) was a Russian and Soviet pianist and teacher. Part of a musical dynasty, he was of German descent. He taught at the Moscow Conservatory from 1922 to 1964. Neuhaus was also awarded the People's Artist of the RSFSR (1956).

His piano textbook The Art of Piano Playing (1958) is regarded as one of the most authoritative and widely used approaches to the subject.
