Heinrich der Vogler or Henry the Fowler (fl. c. 1275–1296) was a Middle High German poet from the County of Tyrol. He contributed two important works to the literary cycle of Dietrich von Bern. The themes of his poetry were chiefly history and courtliness. Around 1280 he completed the epic "Dietrichs Flucht" (in which he names himself) and the "Rabenschlacht". Both were written in rhyming couplets.
