Heike Baehrens (born 21 September 1955) is a German deaconess, religious educator and politician (SPD).

She has since been a full member of the Bundestag Committee on Health, where she is her parliamentary group's rapporteur on inclusion and European affairs.

She is a member of the non-partisan Europa-Union Deutschland, which is committed to a federal Europe and a far-reaching European unification process.
