Louise Henriette de Bourbon (20 June 1726 – 9 February 1759) was Duchess of Orleans from 1752 until her death in 1759 by marriage to Louis Philippe I, Duke of Orléans. Born a French princess du sang (princess of the blood), she was the second child and only daughter of Louis Armand II, Prince of Conti, and Louise Élisabeth de Bourbon, a granddaughter of King Louis XIV.
The Duke of Orléans and his wife were then addressed as Monsieur le Prince and Madame la Princesse. Louise Henriette was a grandmother of the French monarch Louis-Philippe, nicknamed "the Citizen King". Her descendants include the present-day pretenders to the throne of France and Italy and the kings of Spain and Belgium.
