Henry of Saxe-Römhild (German: Heinrich von Sachsen-Römhild; 19 November 1650 – 13 May 1710) was the sole ruler of the short-lived Duchy of Saxe-Römhild, an Ernestine principality within the Holy Roman Empire. He entered imperial military service at a young age and steadily rose through the ranks, attaining the high office of Imperial Generalfeldzeugmeister (General of the Ordnance) in 1697. In recognition of his distinguished service, he was awarded the prestigious Order of the Elephant in 1698.
