Heinrich Johann Maria von Coudenhove-Kalergi (12 October 1859 – 14 May 1906), also known as Heinrich Coudenhove-Kalergi (styled as Count of Coudenhove until 1903 and Count of Coudenhove-Kalergi thereafter), was an Austro-Hungarian diplomat and writer who was a member of the Coudenhove-Kalergi family. He was born in Vienna and died in Ronsberg, Western Bohemia (today Poběžovice in the Czech Republic). He spoke 18 languages (including Turkish, Arabic, Hebrew and Japanese), and his diplomatic postings included Athens, Rio de Janeiro, Constantinople and Buenos Aires.

He was made Deputy Minister of Austria-Hungary to Japan, where he remained for 4 years, studying Buddhism and marrying a young Japanese woman from a samurai family, Mitsuko Aoyama. They had seven children, including Richard von Coudenhove-Kalergi, best known for his role in establishing the Pan-European Movement, and Ida Friederike Görres, a well-known Catholic author.
